anxiety/panic disorder?

[valentine]

I have been battling severe panic disorder for over 6 years now....and the doctor has decided it is time to slowly get me away from my dependency on xanax. Its been a ROUGH few days...waking up sweating...severe panic attacks...nauseau...trembling...headaches...severe loss of appetite...sleeplessness....and the worst....a feelingof being disconnected from reality...its like walking in a slow moving fog....this drug has helped me from becoming a full blown agoraphobic....but had I known how dangerous and severe the detox process is....I might have gone a different route. anyone else experience panic disorder?? Just looking for some support from the best examples of humankind I have found on the net! you guys are always willing to lend a hand and a kind word. love to all of you.
thanks
Justin
