I have been taking .5mg-1mg of lorazepam almost every day for the past 4 months. Every time I would stop taking it I would feel this really bad anxiety so I would go back to taking it, just thinking it was my nerves and that was that. Turns out I think it was rebound anxiety from not taking them and I didn't realize until now.

This morning I woke up feeling super anxious, like first thing. I also have a racing heart beat, shakey limbs, my skin is crawling and I feel so exhausted and can't focus. Normally I would take a lorazepam, but I am thinking that these are withdrawal symptoms instead, so I don't want to. I feel like shit and I am kinda freaking out about it. Any tips with how to get through the symptoms, do I just ride it out?
