I think you are having anxiety from the allergic reaction. Anaphylactic reaction, I take it..?  It's possible that it affected your CNS in a way that caused this anxiety and panic state.

Hi, Sherry. 

 

I have had bad allergic reactions, too, and they are terrifying.  I'm pretty sure it isn't the antihistamine causing your current symptoms. I really don't think you are having w/d symptoms after 2 years off ativan.  Sometimes I have to remind myself that I had bouts of unpleasant or scary sensations - including the feeling of not being able to breathe - long before I ever took the first benzo.  I hope you are feeling better by the time you read this message. 

THANKS BEEPER FOR COMING BY WITH ADVICE AND ENCOURAGING WORDS YOU ARE A BLESSING. I PRAY YOU ARE WELL AND HEALTHY NOW AND YOUR ENJOYING FREEDOM. HAVE A BLESSED DAY.

LOVE AND HUGS
