Alcohol withdrawal or anxiety disorder???

dave - if you're having regular panic attacks, it is probably worth talking to your doctor about trying an SSRI. It will usually manage the anxiety (and prevent it) much better over the long term than the benzo will. It's also of note to be careful with the klonopin, as someone with a history of addiction. But it sounds like you're managing it very well.

Anyway, just some thoughts I wanted to mention, and also sending you lots of strength on this journey. You're doing amazing!
