I think it's pretty obvious you're in withdrawal from the high dose benzos you were taking Phillipa, even though it was only two weeks. Remember the alcohol analogy I posted yesterday? Well benzos work in a similar way to alcohol, so like a person who massively increases their intake for two weeks then cuts back down abruptly, you'll have a hangover of some sort. I know it feels like it'll never end, but fortunately you were only on those super high doses for a short time. The worst of it should be over in a week or two. Until then it's best to rest as much as you need at take a little gentle exercise to avoid stiffening up. Soft foods like soup, yoghurt and bread might be easier to tolerate when you're feeling sick or if you've lost your appetite.
