I'm having a little difficulty other than keeping busy- my heart palpitates to the point where it's like ... in my chest I have excitement and anxiety- like something is going to happen good or bad, has anyone ever had that form of anxiety, through WD, in normal life or what? It's right below my solar plexus and it just makes me crazy. Thanks for any info on that...

I cannot speak for Norco, but during the end of my drinking and during withdrawals i had panic attacks, heart palpitations, anxiety, high heart rate and high blood pressure.

Any/all of those symptoms can be potentially very dangerous, so seeing a doctor would be highly recommended if you have concerns.

Hmm, I'm just curious about the chest anxiety... it's not like a tightness in my chest I've had this before- when I'm excited about doing something but... just want to try to cover it and lower it down.

Caffeine, Ritalin, Aderall, Cocaine all gave me the symptoms you write about. Heart palpitations are nothing to screw around with. You could always be confusing anxiety for actual irregular heart beats or something else. It really is best to get checked out Paulos. There are some good Hospitals close to you too!

Thanks, I never had any of the ones on the top except caffeine Midol wise for my headaches, but thanks.

Sounds like anxiety.
But I'd have it looked at if you're worried.
I had trouble with benzos before and when I quit, my body produced the weirdest sensations.
But through cbt, I learned to just accept them until they went away.
Wishing you well.
