I would have recommended my patient to stop the drug immediately because of the unbearable side effects. It is highly unlikely that a withdrawal reaction will set in if you are using the drug for less than 4 weeks. You seem to be having lot os trouble with the medication and you have started it just 10 days back, so the most logical thing to do is to stop the medicine and introduce alternative anti-anxiety medications once the symptoms subside.
Hope the information helps. Thank you.
