"backlash" of EMDR

I have gone through 2 sessions of EMDR and I have
to say that I am freaking out. I can't sleep without
having dreams, I'm losing weight, you name it. I feel
very distraught (sp?) and feel as though I'm about
to lose it completely. I am closing off to everyone,
because this is just too off the edge for me. Is
this a common reaction? Why can't I get "ahold" of
myself? I have not scheduled any more sessions,
in fact I have cancelled any other appts and am
retreating big time. I don't know what to do to make
this all stop. I don't know how much longer I
can sit with this. Ideas? Thoughts?
