I am not sure about the withdrawl from these, but I suspect that panic could be a withdrawl symptom, that or you are too nervous getting off the medication, maybe there is another side effect you are dreading perhaps? If you can check with your doctor and if not check with the pharmacy you got the drugs from. I've found if you talk to them nicely they may answer your questions, as they know more about the drugs than the doctors do, but are not doctors so are not able to answer some questions, but you can try, just be nice.

> I now have a Holitor monitor I am going to wear at night for about 3-4 nights, this is going back to that study I mentioned a few weeks ago. We;ll see waht they can get out of it. I was wrong it is not a sleep monitor like I was hoping for, it is only a heart monitor, but they know based on the heart rythms when you are in rem sleep or awake, etc. We'll see what happens. I've been very shakey lately and unable to sleep. and of course now that I have the monitor I slept early and actually slept through the night without getting up for hours on end. I woke up sevearl times, but thats ok.

> CheersThank you for your response. I responded to Jim before reading yours and yes I do think it is withdrawal symptoms still acting up, it just took me a few days to figure it out. I keep hoping they will miraculously stop, but hey 24 days and its much better so no complaining from me. Well maybe a little LOL.
I have worn that halter thing before and really hope it shows something for you. Are they making you push that bloody button every time you feel just about anything? I swear that button made me paranoid so I pushed it all the time. LOL Its not the most comfortable thing either, but I really hope it shows something minor and fixable. I always approach any of these tests with hope they will find something that they can say "Oh hey that's what was causing ALL these problems, we can fix that easy with no consequences and make you good as new". Probably not very realsitic and hasn't happened yet, but I figure it has to happen to people all the time so this time I hope it is you.
Keep me posted.
Holly
