Came off Fluoxetine... what to do?

Hi, so been on Fluoxetine for nearly 15 years now, bumps along the way but finally tapered myself down over the last few months. Took my last pill nearly 3 weeks ago now but over the last week I’ve really struggled. Panic, stomach churning, feelings of breathlessness, feeling really low, constant whirring of thoughts and can’t switch off etc. I’ve done so much reading over the last couple of years to prepare myself so I know what’s physically going on inside is adrenaline etc but I don’t seem to be able to control my emotional state. Just wondering has anyone been through this? Should I just go back on them? Do I keep pushing through and hoping it gets better? I am meditating, running and staying away from too much caffeine, sugar and alcohol. Just don’t know what to do for the best?

Thank you ☺️
