>Actually, both. I had been taking Topomax, which very effectively addressed the physical aspects of anxiety, such as muscle tension and tightness. However, Topomax very nearly killed me psychologically and also gave me 4 sizeable kidney stones, so I had to get off of it ASAP. Reducing the dosage of Topomax quickly almost resulted in suicide and intensified the psychological anxiety. As a result, I had to quickly resort to Clonazepam. I therefore had the symptoms you speak of from the withdrawl of Topomax. Later, when I tried to withdrawl Clonazepam, though they had lessened, they returned with a vengeance.
