    You need a Dr to get you off the meds and transition you to something else. I get anxiety from time to time but I control it with vitamins and natural supplements. The meds made it worse for me.

    If you explained those symptoms to your doctor correctly, and he gave you a sample packet and told to come back in four weeks, there HAS to be something wrong with your doctor's comprehension. Was this doctor your primary with an understanding of your medical history? Onset of rapid heartbeat and dizziness are symptoms that need immediate addressing. Get yourself to another doctor for a second opinion, take the meds with you, and explain EVERY symptom you had, or are having.

    Do not stop the medication on your own. Quite a few you need to be taken off slowly and be watched by your doctor. The side effects of stopping suddenly can be severe.
