Shakiness, Weakness. Taking Temazepam, Lorazepam, Stopped Medicines But No Change. Any Ideas?

General shakiness, weakness, and tired periodically every day, similar to but not quiet the same as hypoglycemia, which I have had for many years. Doctor believes it's related to my use of temazepam, which I stopped at that time (about 3 weeks ago), as well as the lorazepam I was taking for restless legs. No change in the symptoms. Very little sleep in the meantime (1 to 8 hours, usually less than 5 hours per night - rarely 8, often 2 to 4). Doctor said I could take Benadryl, but that didn't help and just left me feeling hung over for the first half of the next day.

Hello,
Thanks for the query to H.C.M. Forum.
This may be due to withdrawal syndrome .
Main question is why , so restless and insomnia ( lack of sleep ).
Get in blood examination for C B C , serum calcium , potassium , sodium levels , SUGAR level.
Age and gender play an important role in diagnosis .
Upload all reports then , it will be possible to find out any diagnosis.
Good luck.
