I'm sorry, if you already know this Temmie, but I thought I'd mention it in case you didn't.
Sometimes I take xanax or ativan for a while if I'm having a stressful time, and if I take more than usual for a day or two and then cut back,
I get terrible rebound anxiety and fear.Its excruciating, and usually the situations I'm in would be anxiety inducing anyway, like yours are, but my brain magnifies them about 200x.
Its a really scary thing to go through (I ended up in the hospital the first time)I didn't find out until someone told me, so I just thought I'd mention it. Xanax has a particularly bad rebound effect for me.
I don't mean to be patronizing If you already know all about your medications I thought it would be worth it though if you didn't.
Take care.
I'm sorry you're going through all this.
