Burning Skin - Anxiety

Hi All,

I have suffered from anxiety for a little while now.  My doctor put me on a short term medication called ALEPAM (benzodiazepines) which i took for approx 2 and a half weeks.  6 days after stopping the medication i had a night on the alcohol, where i drank quite a bit.  Approx 3 days later i noticed a burning sensation in my arms, legs and back which has persisted for about 2 weeks now.  Is there any chance that me drinking 6 days after stopping these meds could have caused this burning sensation?  I would have thought 6 days would be enough for it to leave my system.   My doctor thinks it is just my anxiety surfacing in another form.  I do not think this.  

Your help would be much appreciated.
