What Causes Back Pain With Dizziness,headaches And Weakness In Legs?



Yes,it can be due to stress or medicines or....
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for using healthcaremagic.
You have narrated symptoms detail very well.From your history I can put following differential diagnosis.
1. Some stress related disorder either anxiety or depression which made you to take clonazepam and you became habitual to that.Symptoms of benzodiazepines addiction and stress intermingled then.
2. You became addicted to clonazepam without any stress factors and all features related to medicines.
3.Hypochondiasis: Person feels(false concern) consistently that he/she has some disease which is difficult to diagnosed(almost all reports are normal) and he/she may become severe ill and no doctor can help.
4.Vitamin B12 & Vitamin D deficiency: either of both of these vitamin deficiency can cause such symptoms.
5.Thyroid hormone disturbance: Hyperthyroid (as you lost weight without efforts) is also one of the possibility.
If feasible send me your all reports or just narrate which have been done and normal.
To help you further I want to know,"Since when, which quantity(dose with timing) are you taking klonopin?, Why clonazepam was started? Is it started by a doctor or on your own?, After reading above differential provide more detail if you feel there is link with some diagnosis.
Waiting for your response,
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.


your problem is not due to medicines
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up with information.
Lorazepam 1 mg for more than 5 years is not going to cause any symptoms you have suffered, rather it is used to treat the symptoms.
Clonazepam 0.5 mg is also low dose and you are taking half of it.So it is also not going to cuase your symptoms.Same way as lorazepam it is used for such anxiety symptoms.
So your problem is not at all caused by benzodiazepines that is confirmed.
You need detail evaluation by psychiatrist in form of personal, family and past history,mental status examination, substance history,occupational history to search for cuase of your symptoms. After that it can even be treated by counseling & psychotherapy only, medicine may not be needed.
You did not provide details about investigation. I would like to tell that if you did not have Vitamin B12 ,Vitamin D and thyroid evaluation, please go for it.
Hope I have answered your query satisfactorily, but still if any question there ,I will be glad to answer.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
