I used to get awful cycles of extremely high anxiety, panic attack, anxiety, panic, anxiety/panic, etc. that would last 3 or 4 hours. They have happened to me off benzos, but lately, I haven't had nearly as many of those as I had ON benzos! The last time it happened to me was probably 5-6 months ago. The smaller panic attacks and anxiety I still do have from time to time but less often than in the past, and these really decreased with unplugging from the news which I did around the end of November (current events still stress me, but I am not reading anything and asked my husband not to discuss news and politics especially with me as it is just not worth it).
