I had the exact same reaction following a surgery where spinal nerve block anesthesia was used and antibiotics following the surgery. I had been on Paxil CR successfully for 17 years. Then, full panic that went on for weeks. Unfortunately, no medication, alternative treatments, or therapy has worked. I was prescribed Klonopin. Started having tolerance withdrawals and switch to Valium. Tolerance quickly on Valium. At that point, there is no other option other than to taper. But, since the original condition was never stabilized, I too am really struggling with constant severe anxiety, tremors , and depression.
I know this is an old thread, but if you see this , I would like to know how you proceeded.
Thanks,

@jschwing - I have not been on this thread for a little while so just saw this. Klonopin almost ruined my life as some idiot sleep disorder doc prescribed it and doesn't understand the drug at all. After 6 weeks the tremors started and he refused to believe it was the klonopin. After 7 months and only getting worse, I stopped cold turkey as I came to realize he was an idiot and it was the klonopin. Went to my primary and a neurologist and both said "NO" to this crap drug and couldn't believe he prescribed it for sleep period. Well I stopped almost 2 1/2 years ago and the withdrawal tremors lasted for 2 full years, so now you can see what you can be up against. Best of luck but absolutely no to this horrible drug which people are addicted to and don't realize it or say they can't live without it. (That's addiction) Not sugar coating it here, it's the truth.
