Very scared today

5 Replies

I'm on a new medication and weaning off an old one, I'm feeling really dizzy and woozy and my derealisation is awful. I also feel really weak and negative and like I've dropped off the earth, and it seems like I know for sure I'm going to die soon. Feels like my ears are plugged and my head is swimming with static. I've been having weird dreams and really bad unexplainable emotions. Just really don't feel good :(

Sorry which one you coming off, Which one you starting ?? I'm not good but haven't been for a while so I knew starting/ reducing was only going to be worse, if I was feeling so bad on high strengh antidpressant. Mood very low, battling to get through the day. Hope you feel better than I am
