Yeah, it happened to me too but with Klonopin 8mg. He cut me down to 2mg, then at the next review two weeks later he cut off my supply altogether. That's when I started buying them from online pharmacies.
Had the same probs with Lamictal too - it was intolerable unless I took a benzo with it to calm the agitation and insomnia (and murderous rage against pdoc). Well, I know there is a way out of it because here I am nearly a year later, benzo free. Thank God and UK drug regulations for OTC codeine though. (((Opiates)))).
A word of advice, try to go down into the fear as soon as you feel it. Face up to it while it's fresh, or you run the risk of setting up a pattern of avoidance that will be hard to break later on. I know that sounds trite, and the instinct is to run for comfort, but a little bit of self-determination now will pay dividends after the withdrawal is through.
I've been through it many times under different circumstances, so I'm here if you need some advice or support.
BTW is he not giving you a taper at all?!
