It's all happening due to benzodiazepine withdrawal. Ask your Psychiatrist to restart at lower dose (0.25mg) and taper it more gradually over 2-4 weeks. Simultaneously discuss regarding increasing dose of escitalopram to 15mg per day.

Yes withdrawals can cause this or this can be due to relapse of anxiety symptoms. Need to be discussed in detail

Hi there, Sometimes tapering of the drugs can cause such symptoms. Your detailed history is not available why you were started with the medications. Do consider getting the advice from your mental health professional again. You may need some other investigations like thyroid profile.Are you a smoker or on some other medications or alcohol? Don’t worry.
Next Steps
You may also need psychological interventions in addition to the medications. Do get the help of your mental health professional again and discuss your issues.
