Anxiety, panic, insomnia, nausea, sweating (especially during sleep), tremor and perceptual disturbances are common after missed doses in anyone who's taken a large dose regularly. Perceptual disturbances may include feelings of numbness in the skin, oversensitivity of the skin, tingling feelings, dizziness and sensations of movement and exaggerated sense of smell.
Like the others say, symptoms should disappear on restating the meds. It's very unlikely that your hands are swollen... they just feel it. If you want to reduce the other meds you'll probably need to do so gradually.
Hope this helps.
