Benzodiazepine class action law suit

I was on benzodiazepines 35 years ago for having major panic attacks. I was gradually taken off them ( Xanax) and the process took a year. After I took my last Xanax six days went by and I felt fine. On day number seven when I went to bed I started having what I now know to be “rebounding.” I had nearly every night horrific nightmares, waking up screaming, covered with perspiration. My brain felt like it was literally banging up against my skull. This went on almost every night for six months. I never thought about suing the pharmacology/makers of Xanax ( Upjohn Pharmaceuticals) but I certainly questioned my psychiatrist for not informing me about “ rebounding”.
