Anxiety, nausea and dizziness after coming off cerelle?

I was on cerelle for 6 weeks and came off it due to dizzy spells. Felt absolutely great for the first few weeks, dizzy spells went away and I got on with my life. I did have bloating and constipation for a couple weeks but was easy to cope with! All of a sudden I start feeling very nauseous and dizzy as if I'm about to pass out and since then have felt continuously nauseous and now my dizziness and feeling light headed is getting progressively worse. I have also started feeling very anxious and panicky as if my throat is tightening and sometimes feel like it's slightly more difficult to breathe. I'm losing my mind and can't stop crying because I feel worried that it's taking over my life. I was wondering if anyone can shed any light and tell me they returned to normal and how long it took?? Any help would be very much appreciated

This is a common description of the withdrawal felt by many when they quit an antidepressant or a relaxant or any drug that targets brain neurotransmitters, but not for a contraceptive, so it is odd.  You might ask your doctor who put you on this drug if it has any known effects on brain neurotransmitters.  It could indicate your hormones are badly messed up, however, and there are many ways to try and fix that.  One is by eating differently, exercising, learning balancing techniques such as meditation, and using natural plant remedies that more gently balance hormones,  For example, using Vitex for the progesterone instead of a drug.  There are many balancing formulas and a naturopath can guide you if you don't know this form of medicine.  It may be the drug was just too strong for you and has put you even further into imbalance.  It could also indicate that unlike most women, you really do have an estrogen problem -- most women have a progesterone problem -- that you were unaware of, or it could be the drug was so much out of balance for you on one side that it has left your body having a hard time balancing itself -- drugs do this because they are so strong and so synthetic that the body often just has a hard time knowing how to operate with them in the system.  I hope this at least gives you some things to think about and discuss with someone who might help.
