Dr. Lois A Freisleben-Cook answered

Both: The medication can cause some anxiety and a feeling of impending doom. This will pass . The fear you felt before taking the medication simply primed the anxiety pump. The unpleasant feelings will not last long and can be alleviated a bit with deep breathing and meditation . A warm bath may help or if possible a gentle massage .
