I did find some sources about severe anxiety, but only from traumatic flashbacks or the like.

Turns out I already have data on that: I dropped from having several panic attacks a day to slight nervosity in specific situations. This changed nothing about meditation.

How did your panic attacks go away?

They faded away on their own accord over five years. Moving/changing schools helped more often than it hurt. Why do you ask?

I thought it might give a clue about how to lower meditation-related anxiety, but apparently not.
