Chest pain: Nine months is a long time for withdrawal symptoms to still be present. Probably should go see doc and get checked out.

No: 0.5 mg/d is a very low dose and if it has really been 9 mos, it is definitely not withdrawal, but could be anxiety which is probably why you took it in the first place. There are better alternatives if it is anxiety, but you should see your doctor to make sure it isn't something more than anxiety.
