I have had that shaking, like a day long panic attack is how I describe it. I have had those years back, before getting treated for panic disorder and it has never surfaced again like this til I started this massive taper.
My psych gave me extra xanax to take for one month under his supervision. I have taken it for 15 years for panic/agora and it has helped. I hate taking xanax though more than just at bed time because it makes me so tired and I do hate the tired feeling.
Right now though, I will take tired over the terrible anxiety I was having............
The anxiety, according to my dr, should subside in about 4 weeks into being clean but he said it can come out of the blue for years.
This is how he described it....................it is like having a glass of milk................you drink the milk and it is gone but you have all that residue left in the glass. Well, it is the same with opiates.............you might stop taking them, but being "clean" takes a long time because of all the residue left in all your cells and organs..............
Kind of paints a clearer picture of what is going on in our bodies.
Best wishes to you all,

You said you cut back as soon as you felt like this... do you mean you felt like this after you took your dose or before??
