Chris,
It is withdrawal and perfectly normal.  We all experience similiar and sometimes a bit different symptoms.  You won't sleep much for the first 4-5 days.  If you have access (from your doc, not the street) to a benzo like xanax, valium etc.. this will help a ton. If you dont, try a couple of OTC Tylenol PMs.  Hot baths help also.  The anxiety is normal, fully.  Good job so far, hang in there, it will get better.
