I am having a similar problem where i am having a panic attack and I get dizzy and a pain in the right shoulder blade. I was changed from citalopram to vensir xl 75mg and I have all of a sudden had a bad panic attack at the moment actually were my heart is beating really fast and I feel I cant breathe and have to stand up. I recently moved out of home too and find it very lonely at mine and stay with my mum a lot.

Any suggestions?

I would stay away from the doctoral Meds unless you absolutely need them, I had the exact problems your having, and they are HORRIBLE! I used herbal calming supplements called Kava Kava and Tranquility. They are amazing! When you start working yourself up, take one or two Kava kava pills and you will be amazed! No bad side effects; nothing but calm peace. And eventually once you work on you positive mind set, you won't need them anymore and I had no more anxiety, its all about mind over matter. The mind is a powerful thing.

I had all of that, for about 3-4 months, it was offul, it felt like electricity was going through my legs and arms, and my head felt so heavy. I had 8 to 9 heart palpitations at a time! It was offul I felt like i was going to die! So we went and got my heart checked and I'm completely fine, they did blood work and took all my vitals, I'm 100% healthy, It was all in my head. So I began to use herbal calming supplements, they worked so well, Kava Kava pills and Tranquility pills. They worked, and I was relived almost immediately! No after effects, just calm and peace. Try it out! It will be so worth it.
