Hello...I have a mental health care question. I began having panic attacks in April and was placed on Clonazepam. Not knowing it was a benzo until later, I asked the doctor for something to help me titrate off of it. My pcp put me on Escitalopram which I'd taken in the past with success. This time however, I developed mood swings, crying hysterically, irrational fears and increased anxiety. He took me off. I decided to go down on my own on the Clonazepam and went from 1 1/2 mg to .5 where I presently stand. I decided to go to another pcp who had treated me in the past and she put me back on the Escitalopram due to past success. Again, I had the horrible effects; brain fog, tearfulness, agitation, mood swings. She kept pushing until I got to the 40mg where I'd had success in the past. I stayed on this regimen for nine weeks in total. I decided not to continue with her and went instead, to a psychiatrist who brought me down to 10mg Escitalopram, added 5mg Buspar twice per day along with the .5 Clonazepam. Initially this seemed to work as I was less cloudy/brain fog; still anxious but I thought better. This has been two weeks. Two days ago, however, I began experiencing the tearfulness again, mood swings and fears. I'm confused what could be happening? I feel I'm trapped in this medication hell and won't ever return to normal. I don't feel at all like myself.
