Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You have been taking Olanzapine, Tryhexyphenidyl (Pacitane), Epitril (Clonazepam) and then stopped taking the drugs. You were also taking alcohol and controlled its use. If we consider the drugs then Olanzapine or Pacitane if stopped abruptly might result in withdrawal in form of restlessness, anxiety, insomnia etc symptoms. But I dont think the withdrawal get prolonged to 4-5 months.

Clonazepam and Alcohol both are brain depressant substances. Most of individuals after stopping these substances suffer withdrawal in form of tremors, uneasiness, shivering etc. So in my opinion the symptoms your are having are occurring due to withdrawal of Clonazepam. Consult a psychiatrist for evaluation and for proper management of your symptoms.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Take care
