I believe the symtoms were starting in on me and got through it because I keep Zanax on hand.
That is when I started to research how I was feeling.
I had thought it was my new medicine for diabetes that was efffecting me.
But my research found this.
This is just one source but there are others.

To: right way right
Ok thanks now I understand. I stopped taking antidepressants 5 times. Finally the shrink I had from India insisted I had to take them. Me and her had some heated words needless to say. Same doc my sister saw later and we got her away from her as well.

She wasn't a bad doctor because she was from India {so is my nieces husband} she was a bad doctor because she didn't have a earthly clue as to why she was there for LOL. Next shrink took me off antidepressant I was taking and fixed my Xanax prescription to one that stays low strength in the bloodstream 24/7. My medical charts now have No antidepressants adverse reaction on them.

It was a couple years after that my wife had Serotonin Syndrome and I realized from symptoms I was having while taking them I was right on the edge of it. Wellburtin for example made flush, nausiated, and a head ache within minutes of taking it.

Paxil locked up my blader and I had to go to the ER for a Cathater. Thanks to my training for my wifes care I understood what was happening to me and got to the ER before I went into shock. I asked the nurse what was wrong with me and he said Paxil caused it. We see a few cases a month of this. I had the folley for two weeks till the Paxil left my bloodstream.

My wife wasn't so lucky. For nearly a week she thought she was Della Reese aka Tess on Touched by an angel. 28 years ago she was being treated for anxiety & placed on Xanax by her cardiologist to control heart spasms that was closing down a valve in her heart. About 13 years later she was taking antidepressants for PTSD and clinical depression when she had the reaction to them.
