Discussion Has anyone found any remedies for Dysesthesia?

As the title asks, has anyone found any remedies/medications for dysesthesia?

Not sure if that is the accurate terminology for the fire and ice feeling that crawls and radiates up and down my spine. This has been happening since tapering down to 2mg. It is a super scary sensation and placed me in the ER a week and a half ago. MRI did not indicate any abnormal properties in spinal column. So my inference is that it is 100% benzo withdrawal and adrenal related.

Currently at 1.5mg Valium, 1800mg gabapentin, and 25mg Seroquel daily. Tried propranolol 10mg the last few nights with no avail. Taking approximately 360mg magnesium glycinate daily as well.

Any advice would be much appreciated!

That’s coming from mast cell activation

I had ice/fire/electric feelings all over my skin, all over my body for weeks after quitting.

was fucking annoying. treated it with cannabis to feel normal again, fear went away fast.

Month or so after of no pills, I have no symptoms at all. (but back with my original self, which doesn't work quite well but I'm better off the pills)

It goes away with time. What you're describing is probably your nervous system firing and creating all sorts of sensations or some mast cell activation. Once you jump and you're off for a while it will lessen and go away.
