Drugs can cause many side effects and they differ by individual. This drug isn't known to work very well but if the side effects you describe only started after taking the drug, it's the most likely culprit. On the other hand, they don't sound like common side effects -- I assume you're an anxiety sufferer because of the drug you were trying and being on this forum -- they sound more like anxiety attack symptoms or not related to anxiety at all or the drug but from some kind of congestion in your chest. Were you anxious about going on the med? My suggestion is, see a doctor to check if you have lung congestion or something like it, and if you're still functioning okay see a therapist and see if you can work out your anxiety problems. If your life is so severely disrupted you can't function well and believe drugs are necessary, see a psychiatrist, not a regular doc. But if you can fix this without medication, it's better. If you can't, then you have to do what you have to do. But again, this particular med doesn't have a particularly good clinical record especially as a stand-alone drug.
