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?

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.

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