The fear of impending doom is a very common anxiety symptom.
It's just a fear and doesn't mean anything.

Sorry missed your thread earlier. Why did your meds suddenly get stopped after 4 weeks? That certainly wouldn't help.
Hope you've managed some relief.

Stopping your Mirt could have been done via a taper:

DURING
•Reduce slowly
•Research suggests:
•if treatment has lasted less than 8 weeks, stopping over 1-2 weeks should be OK
•after 6-8 months treatment, taper off over 6-8 weeks
•if you have been on maintenance treatment, taper more gradually: e.g. reduce the dose by not more than ¼ every 4-6 weeks.

•Stay in touch with your doctor
•Be prepared to stop the reduction or increase your dose again if needed
•Keep a diary of your symptoms and drug doses.

Cold turkey withdrawal can be unpleasant and doctors only tend to do that if there is a good reason like an allergic reaction, for instance.

If this is withdrawal, perhaps they can determine if a small dose could be added and you withdraw slower?
