Worse anxiety when starting ad?

[amberhs27]

I'd anyone have worse anxiety when starting their ad? I took a 20 mg celexa bout an hour ago and it's as if I was thrown into an immediate attack! Had a tingle on roof off my mouth it went away, a horrible pain in my head and now I feel like I'm on fire n my arms r feeling like I have to move them. Freaking out a bit!!!!

I'm feeling the same way at the moment I switched from Paxil to Prozac and I'm starting to zone out a little and feel tingly and numbness on my arms....anxiety is a little higher then usual...just remember its rough the first couple weeks cause your body is adjusting to the change just ride out the symptoms they will go away...

Listen... you need to understand how anxiety works.

Through some kinda trauma or constant worry, your brain has been re-wired such that otherwise normal symptoms, sensations and senses are innapropriately mistaken for high-level danger, which triggers a somewhat overwhelming, primitive reaction called fight or flight

ANYTHING can trigger this reaction, including a twinge, an everyday pain, a twitch, being drunk, headache, tooth ache, tummy ache and even an itch!... ANYTHING.

With this hyper sensitivity in mind, realize that anxiety is now reacting to the effects of the drugs.

I used to get the same after a few beers... I'd get the normal drunk feeling but anxiety would mistake this for danger and trigger fight/flight... crazy but true.

You'll eventually get used to the effects and anxiety will move onto something else, so just ride it out for the time being.
