you really shouldnt be made to quit cold turkey, you should be supplied with enough tablets to taper off
explain to them about the total number of tablets you took and ask for some more so you can taper off.
yes anxiety sufferers are sometimes thought to be selling the benzos on the street or giving them to addicts, we often dont seem all that anxious to the docs.....
the deep slow breathing will work but you need to be patient, a long soak in a hot bath relaxes the muscles and makes it easier, practise the breathing while having a soak

if no more benzos and things get really bad then antihistamines will help, these sedate as a side effect and are foumd in cough mistures and many other mrds, allergy med, travel sickness pills, etc

expect to be prescribed an antidepressant med for the the panic attacks, these often do help but the early side effects may be difficult
