Medication withdraw: Please do not make any change in your medications w/out seeing your doctor. Please do see doc who can guide you through the process. At the same time pleases see a mental health pro like a clinical psychologist to learn strategies to manage anxiety. See www.relaxationresponse.org for some self-help too. Peace and good health.
