Call your MD and explain your situation . You should be seen ASAP. If the meds are causing then stop. But if you cant see an MD right away go to ER

Contact your doctor ASAP as your side effects make it impossible to tolerate. You will need to stop the medication and find an alternative. Talk to your doctor today

Is it ok to take propranolol while on 20mg of citalopram. My gp has put me on it due to high blood pressure and anxiety?
Only concern is Zoloft (sertraline) was not the "logical" choice after Celexa (GP let me choose), that there's a definitive SSRI (say Paxil) to try bef SNRI switch?
