What Causes Dry Eyes And Tremor In Finger While On Benzodiazepine?

I have been tested and found to have pseudocholinestrase definciency. After being on benzodiazephines for more than four years (off for the past 4), I developed intense checmical sensitivities and allergies that I never had before. Ihave very dry eyes and have now developed a tremor in my little finger. Could the benzos have caused a further complication with the loss of this enzyme....resulting in a reduction of dopamine, etc.?

Hi
Benzodiazapines may some times cause blurring of vision with dryness and tremors.
One can use lubricating eye drops in such a situation and watch. If condition does not improve one may discontinue benzodiazapines gradually not suddenly to avoid withdrawal symptoms.
