Anxiety

Does anyone get anxiety for days at a time, non stop?  I've had attacks that last for days and it's horrifying.  Since my doctor increased my dose it has stopped but I am afraid everyday that I will get one of these attacks.  When I'm having these attacks, I can't sleep because I will have night terrors (nightmares with waking up suddenly) and I'll cry non stop.  The best way to explain it would be like being on a roller coaster and when you reach the top and just about to plung down the tracks is the best way I can explain the feeling. I worry all the time that I don't get it.  I have taken days off work, because it doesn't last for 10 minutes like most people say, this is non stop for days.  Does anyone get this type of anxiety?  Thanks...Jillybn
