So I recently months ago was diagnosed with anxiety due to stress maybe as well a traumatic experience and it's been ups and downs a huge rollercoaster of a life changing event to me growing up without such diagnosed disorder etc my question is I was once on hydroxyzine but my PCP took me off that an switched me to celexa due to my going to EMS for taking hydroxyzine and I guess in my view in her view it's not working because I took half a pill ( I work night shift at ups ) and those who taken hydroxyzine knows it makes you drowsy and I had a panic attack then I took a whole one time and still resulted in a panic attack somehow so I got switch to citalopgram. I'm still an amateur and new to the effects but I rather play a safe than sorry field when it comes my personal being a body.
The first time I took celexa it was at 12 am and I experience I guess the typical signs of the medication I was a bit hard of breathe but managed to sleep somehow. The second time I felt anxious and started experiencing the normal symptoms but also other ones I was concerned about such as the muscle spasms or spasms and agitation because I felt angry but I thought it's the side effects but I wanted to consult my PCP on how I felt but then later on I felt really depressed more than usual I never had such intense thought of wanting to hurt someone and myself but I was able after an hour to resist the urge and did the smart thing by writing in my journal I dunno if I'm playing it safe or dumb because I looked up withdrawal symptoms I'm on the 10 mg and it's day two I haven't taken it last night I had to go the ems because I felt chest pains followed with the palpation I thought I was having a heart attack because I got nauseated where I almost threw up my friend took me to the bathroom where I had started to shake and zone out ( I felt this way earlier around 8 but didn't wanna make a bit deal and it wasn't as severe just lack of concentration to respond I kept saying um a lot ) we went for a walk to ease my mind came back I tried to sleep and then the effects hit me again as I stated before then I randomly started having muscle spasms it scared her because it seemed as if I was having random spasms of seizures I went to the ems they did labs and I explained it to them they didn't give me anything maybe as a relaxer but maybe the celexa was still in my system and so now I am home I have an appointment early now as of Monday to consult with my PCP but I wanted people expertise besides a doctor's view and opinion what I should and advice and helpful treatment because I know I looked up such things and people saying it's not good to suddenly quit cold turkey again I rather be safe than sorry please and thank you
