What Causes Severe Anxiety After Replacing Lunesta From Flurazepam?

I ve taken Flurazapam for a number of years and recently changed doctors. My new doctor changed my sleeping medication and I m now feeling very anxious or nervous and this has been going on for almost 48 hours. Is this normal withdrawal? I m on Lunesta, which isn t working.
