YES to the freak outs. I had feelings of panic and one full panic attack, which I have not had in years, during the withdrawal period. I went cold-turkey, for just the reason you said - I could not STAND the idea of dragging it out any longer than it had to. Do what is best for you and easiest on your body. Cold-turkey was rough, but it was only the first two weeks that were really bad, the second two were bad but tolerable, and the next two were just kind of flu-like. Take care of yourself. Do what you need to, and try to avoid driving at night, if at all possible.
