Yes, supplements might help.
If you go to the withdrawal page and read what Rabble Rouser has written you might find some help. I am about to embark on supplements.
Also, exercise early in the day, not after about 4 in the afteroon.
Also, if you can sit with the anxiety, find where it is in your body (you've done that!) and think about it, ask it where it comes from, what it's about, what the fear is.
The thing I find about anxiety is that it kind of picks up speed - it starts with something small and then gather momentum, and ends up being a big huge ball in my chest instead of a tiny one that maybe I could have dealt with if I hadn't ignored it when it started. Ignoring it, for me, is avoidance.
I feel for you. Anxiety is poison.
