I think you're coming to the wrong place -- a doctor would be a better place to start than us.  As for anxiety, if you're thinking anxious thoughts, that's anxiety.  If you're not having irrational fears and feeling really really nervous all the time then it's not anxiety.  Some of what you're listing sounds like symptoms of stopping certain medications.  Some of it sounds like a pinched nerve.  But we're not doctors on here.
