Absolutely yes,

Had this for weeks. Am using Biofreeze on the area, a tip from another benzo buddie. It does give temporary relief.

Yes,

 

This was one of my first symptoms, and the last one to let go.

magnesium really seems to help a lot of us with muscle cramps

This is so common for many folks in withdrawal and recovery and is my one lingering sx at this point.  I still have to be careful not to overdo physical activity, otherwise it will flare up pretty bad.  I did 4 bike rides last week and my body is not so happy this week.  Since I have heard from many this is the last sx to go, I am just playing a waiting game.

This is a long-standing issue for me.  But it is improving.  Stretching exercises have provided the most relief for me.  Good luck with it.

alan, sorry about your muscle issues. I read somewhere that benzos cause muscle and connective tissue damage. I've had terrible muscle pulls and joint pain every time i do anything. Never had it prior to benzo w/d so pretty sure it's all related. Now i have a pulled muscle from my neck down the middle of my back that keeps me from sleeping because i can't get comfortable. hot showers seem to help with muscle aches and burning skin. rstud

Definitely! I especially experience this during the peak of my cuts and shortly thereafter.
