I did talk to my doc and she had me take a xanex. It helped a little, I took about a 20 minute nap and woke up feeling a little more calm. I still have the dry mouth, sweats, & a little wirey but not near as bad as before. However, I still have the outstanding question of if this is a side effect how long does it usually last????
