anxiety from wds

Hi I am well on my way through the wds of vicodin detox.  Actually its been a couple of weeks.  I have severe anxiety through all of this which is the worst symptom of all.  I have taken ativan but dont want to become hooked on that too,.  I just ordered 5htp and wondered if anyone else has taken it, and how much should I take,  I have has some panic attacks as well and I need help.  My anxiety is off the charts at times.  Any suggestions?

Anxiety was the worst for me too. Have you thought about an anti depressant? That really helped me.

You're doing good. 5HTP seem to work just fine. when I have anxieties I do yoga. the breathing part helps me a lot. hang in there. you can do this.
