Hello i this is my second post i just did one about the heart problem but after having a panic attack i decided i needed to take medication again today is day 2 of me taking a low dose of meds (SSRI) but since i started taking them i have been having the worst anxiety in my life which just makes my heart problem even worse making my heart beat really fast then slow, it also made my anxiety so bad i started crying from all the stress about my heart and for no reason also having mental breakdown, it also made my very weak in the arm and i just feel so weak my mind is just racing and all i do i worry about my heart is this normal for meds (SSRI) i already took them already but never suffered this bad i don't know how much i can stand.
