Has anyone diagnosed your head pressure? Have you had a spinal tap to see if you have too much fluid around your brain? Head pressure is physical, not psychological.

I think the panic attacks are likely also physical. Fluoxetine raises serotonin levels. Look up intracranial hypertension or pseudo tumor cerebri. See if you think your symptoms seem like that. A good neurologist will do an MRI of your brain and a spinal tap to see what the exit pressure is.

Maybe it’s not too much fluid, but still see what a neurologist thinks.
