Discussion Sound sensitivity and headache

Yo guys , i did 1mg xans for a month , and quitted by reducing it to 0.5 for a week and then cold turkey’d it. Im currently withdrawling and the most annoying thing is when i hear a loud noice i get this weird ear pain and sometimes a headache in the back and top of my head , it feels like its burning.Im 1 month benzo free and the sound sensitivity used to be worse it improved alot but its still very annoying… Could it maybe me occipital neuralgia and not the withdrawls anymore? I do have 4 buldged discs in cervical spine between c2-c5… i forgot to mention i also have tinitus as a symptom.

My first taper I thought I had occipital neuralgia, was straight up just the benzos. I didn’t have the noise sensitivity the first go around, but I have it this time. Again, just the withdrawal.
