It is great you are going to a doctor!. If he is not a psychiatrist, see if he will do a complete physical on you, to give you a clean bill of health, which will alivate some of your anxiety!.
Also tell him what you have told us on here!. Ask him for a prescription for Klonopin (i take it and my psychiatrist swears by it, as I do too!.(It stays in your system a lot lonnger than the other benzodiazapens))!. Also ask for an SSRI antidepressant!.
I take Prozac and have been able to pretty much eliminate the Klonopin!.
