Falconman--I had similar weird sensations and side effects when going off benzos.
I think it's great starting therapy. I often would wonder how I would know if I could do without a medication if my (former) pdoc wouldn't take me off, or taper it down. I've been in therapy for a long time, and I don't know whether brain chemistry is affected, but the (slow, gradual )changes in my life because of a combo of therapy and meds is like night and day.
Does your therapist want you to be off all meds now? It was a gradual thing for me.I still take meds, but less than I ever have. I have a therapist and a pdoc who act as a "team"
