CT Scan is nothing to worry about, you lay on a table for 10 minutes, the scanner moves around your head and its over.
I'd say your doctor isnt doing this because he thinks your brain has been damaged ( a CT scan wont up those sorts of changes ) but more to cover him self, make sure you dont have anything else going on that could cause your symptoms.
Most CT scans of the head are done to cover doctors *ss*s, not because they expect to find anything, they do them incase you're that one patient in a milion who has a tumor etc.
Re the withdrawl symptoms, could you try taking a long acting benzo (such as tranxene/chlorazepate) at bedtime, see if that helps you feel beter - that would show wether it was drug withdrawl that was making you feel bad.
