A trial of Topamax caused outright panic attacks in me and after tapering off I'm left with the same feeling of physical anxiety as you described in the mornings and in the afternoons/evenings. Klonopin takes the edge off a only a bit, but I've got to be careful with dose - I can handle only 0.125 -0.25mg or it depresses me. And I feel hung over in the mornings when I take it at night with trazodone.
I don't like Klonopin but wonder what else to try to get rid of this nervous agitation without inducing some other side effect. I'm very sensitive to meds.
