Perpetual Motion Madness: Excitability Symptoms of Benzo Withdrawal

Updated: Mar 23, 2023

Akathisia is one of the most common symptoms of benzo withdrawal. It is often defined by the feeling of inner restlessness and the urgency to keep moving. It can be exhausting, overwhelming, and even debilitating for some — but it can be managed.


In today’s episode, we examine excitability symptoms. We learn some of the causes, identify some of the signs, and even share a few tips on how to deal with this condition. We also have some feedback on our Facebook change, share a story from Canada, and discuss some methods for managing our emotional minds.
