hi there, bot do I know what your talking about, I myself was only diagnosed with generalized anxiety. I never had nothin until I had a major and my first panic attack DEc 8,2006 now I have been dealing with anxiety, i to was very reluctant on talkin meds BUT I couldn't go thru with this without them. I take Ativan as needed and was just persscribed with Zoloft 2 weeks ago although it doesn't kick in for 3-4 weeks they say. I have been feeling better and of all my body symptoms I had the tingling all over the body and the buzzing is what I have as well, and the itchiness is subsiding, I go out for walks and it helps relieve these. I have to say I do not take my ativan when I get my tingling face and hands, I just get out and power walk, this is the only thing I find helps, even if it's for 20 min. From somebody who can so relate to these symptoms, I also learned so much about my GAD that these symptoms sre something I apparently create so I am learning to say "ok, this is my anxiety it's what it is understand it and let it go" I found the more I focus on them the more it gets worse. If you have to take meds then so be it , I am gald they have something that helps especially when you really need something to take the edge off. I also have a relaxation c.d that I play at night to help me focus and fall asleep...good luck and God Bless
