You may need to give it a little time -- despite what we are led to believe about the fast action of benzo's. I was off Klonopin for 2 1/2 months and it took about a week for the full effects to be evident. Like you, my first reaction was
"Uh, Oh.."In terms of back pain - it can be a VERY common finding with anxiety suffers. Being able to release the tension that's built up can take time. Heat can help as can a low dose of a muscle relaxant for a brief period.
Unfortunately, we anxiety suffers are not usually long on patience and we tend to be short on trying not to be hyperviligelent.
If time doesn't prove to make things better, I hope you doc will work with your dosing.
