Dinah, I had a lot of what I call "hypersensitivity" when I went thru two different episodes of anxiety and panic (the first episode lasted about 10 days, the other shorter.) I could not stand the feel of the shower on my skin, it was so annoying, the mint in my toothpaste was overwhelming and God forbid a bird chirped outside my window while I was trying to get a little sleep. And what is with that sexual feeling? Not that I'm complaining about that one, mind you. It was just strange that in the midst of all my suffering that I felt like I could have an orgasm at the drop of a hat. After I took my benzos for a week or so all my symptoms subsided. IMHO, I think that my brain could not properly synthesize external stimulation. So, no, you are not alone!!
