I took Zoloft for a week. It was prescribed to ease off of Xanax that I had been on for 3 months for reaction, mild tremor that was thought to be anxiety from asthma inhaler and life "stress". On both of these meds ( Zoloft & Xanax) I had a terrible hypersensitivity reaction, then given Valium but made things worse. Burning, crawling skin sensations, brain zaps, panic, severe anxiety, hallucinations, heart racing etc...for 4 days until I went to another doctor and placed on a beta blocker. After 3 months I am still having shaking feeling- like a warm shiver feeling, inside when resting or waking and mild to mod.anxiety mood attacks depending on my stress level. All tests MRI, EEG blood work all ok and doctor wants to put me on a SSRI Cymbalta since the beta blocker is not completely blocking reaction. Cymbalta's side effects, reactions stories are worse than what I have now! I do not want to take it, doc said I have no choices.
Has anyone ever had a reaction like this? How did you ever get rid of it? I am now working with a psychologist (non MD) for the emotional stress this is causing but i have no idea how to fix the physical symptoms!
