Burning Skin - Anxiety
by John290, Nov 15, 2007 04:24PM
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.
