Stomach Pain, Muscular Skeletal Pain In Back And Neck. Taking Nova Bromazepam For Anxiety Problems. Side Effects?

I have been taking novo-bromazepam 3mg for a few months...maybe once every week or two for anxiety. I am now taking it every other day for anxiety and find that it helps my current symptoms of stomach pain and muscular skeletal pain in my back and neck.. Can I expect withdrawal symptoms from this amount of use? My stomach pain is getting worse in between doses. Can this be a rebound side effect of the medication.
