No advice, just that the body is weird :)
I never had intense anxiety until a year ago after an Emsam trial, about a week off meds, and then a 2 day trial with Neurontin. Then holy sh**! Weird nerve body sensations & nervous adrenaline running through my body for no reason. I'd automatically wake up @ 5:30 freaked out every day. I'd usually go running, but that didn't really help. ER once, one time feeling less motor control. A lot of weird zoned feelings (depersonalization).
Long acting xanax much better for me than the short acting. And actually, I think starting birth control hormones helped the most (though I was scared to try them based on past experiences). I don't feel like I have anxiety anymore, but do get occassional "zoned" feelings that seem to be related to my hormones.
