Anxiety pain in back of head

I have been on SSRI for 8 weeks and worked great. Then one day I had an attack and it hasn’t subsided in 10 days. In fact each day is worse with vibrations in my whole body but especially the back of my neck up into my head. I don’t know if it is so extreme that it norepinephrine just keeps sending all the blood to my brain. I feel like I can’t endure another day. When the anxiety is about the physical symptoms of anxiety, it feels like each day is worse than the last. I am literally non-functioning and all I can do is make it to another day to be in worse torment. Anyone have these symptoms that were eleviated by switching to SNRI?

Thanks. It does relieve itself in the few hours a day I don’t have anxiety. So I definitely think it is related to the anxiety. Just wondering if an SNRI Had better success for someone with similar symptoms

Sometimes medications can cause some form of headache although here it sounds like Anxiety is the problem here, your Doctor may be able to advise.

Medications do help with some forms of Anxiety, get it checked out there is no harm in that
