hi all i am pretty anxious 8 and a half weeks into cit second time, 6 weeks of that on 20mg and have developed this really awful shortness of breath thing where i feel like i have to take a deep breath all the time and sometimes cant. i had a panoc attack a coupke of weeks ago when i got it really badly at yoga. Does anyone else get this and have any tips/strategies for dealing with it? it makes me feel even more anxious. im also on 0.5 of lorazepam a day and worried its some weird withdrawal thing as i dont seem to get it when ive had the lorazepam. i dont get it quite as often as i did but still enough that i feel its hampering my recovery. Thanks heaps
