Suggest Remedy For Panic Attacks And Tingling Face After Taking Antidepressant
I have been prescribed an antidepresant I am on my 6th day . Today I have been getting panic attacs that won t go. I have been told to stop taking it by the out of hours team. I am not feeling well at all and my head won t stop my face tingles and I am scared. I was wondering if having a glass of wine would calm me down at all. I am also worrying about sleeping as I don t think I will be able to.

Hello,
While antidepressants can be used to treat anxiety, it is also a possible side effect of these medications. They can cause panic attacks at the first week as the body adjusts the medication. I don't recommend to take alcohol during this period.
Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
