this is my story , i took citilapram for a week ,on the first day after 2 hrs i had a major panick attack that frightened me to death ,i rarely had a panicm attack before then on day 4 i had another and thought this stuff is not for me , so my doctor told me to stop , my anxiety was so hi and i had a few more panick attacks days later, but its left me with a constant fear and i feel not like myself ,emotionless and it scares me, ive cried loads and i also feel very angry ,i cant work concentrate or focus and think that the tablets have damaged me forever, im not suicidel but if i dont get help or a drug that can lower this feeling i keep thinking the worst , its like i cant feel the grounded me i used to be , have my receptors been damaged or something ,thank you to anyone who can help

Nothing happened to you and meds did not damaged you, what you are experiencing is withdrawal symptoms.
Just give some time and they will clear, you will be back to way you was before meds

yes insomnia could be related to anxiety and also as withdrawal or side effect, its very common
Try to get natural melatonin tablets, i think its calls Carcadine , they could help you and assist with better sleep.
Try to go for long walks after dinner, just to burn the access of adrenaline caused by anxiety. High adrenaline keeps you awake and gives you insomnia.
slowly it will go away
