Yes, it is possible. Benzos blunt nerve transmissions, and that is why they are sometimes a supplemental treatment for some seizure disorders.

What we have seen here on this board, is that current users of them can have miniwithdrawals and symptom exacerbations as a result, until the next dose.

Benzos work on inhibitory neurons, to prevent over-firing. So they will temporarily suppress peripheral sensory data.

I am not sure how this translates for you however. It would depend alot on how long you have been off them, and how much you took as dosage daily for how long. The nervous system tends to accomodate to drugs that affect receptors, and so people on long term treatments that affect neurotransmitters, can develop MORE receptors, that need to be covered. Our bodies can only cover so much and these extra then result in symptoms. Opiates have been studied quite a bit in this regard. And now SSRIs are shown to affect these systems too..so it is logical that Benzos have their own accommodation.

Never underestimate a drug treatment. They are often fraught with problems...even simple blood pressure drugs!
