I was changed from Mitrazapine to Sertraline and experienced something like what you're going through, I think it's probably normal when switching medication. I'd give it another few days to see if things settle but if they don't then go back to your GP and see if something else might suit you better. I ended up going off the Sertraline as they were giving me tummy problems but they do work for a lot of people so bear with them a while yet.

people who are sensitive or who have heightened awareness can generally panic when they notice even the slightest change. change in heart rate, breathing pattern or change of wall paper.

change in meds might be unsettling and could well cause you to be feeling some difference.

Hi Fuzzy :)
It's probably the side-effects of changing the meds...I came off of Citalopram in October and I had a panic episode too. The side-effects should calm down soon, so don't worry.
Sending *hugs* as I have had panic that just seems to go on for hours too.
Take care
