I too had this happen to me. This isn't just the normal start up anxiety. . .you are having different side effects to a drug you have previously taken after going off of SSRIs.
I went through heinous paxil withdrawal and have not been able to tolerate SSRIs since. A low dose of celexa gave me askasthia. Benzos didn't touch that. I wish this was a more studied phenomenon. That the doctors don't acknowledge this happens to some people is ridiculous. When I was first put on AD's they put me on a full dose all at once, now I can't even handle miniscule amounts.
I feel for you. I am unmedicated presently and desperately need a medication.
