I can't tell if it's part of the process of taking the medication or its making it worse. I just had a panic attack and my mind can't think. And it's scaring me beyond normal.

Try to do things that will keep your mind busy I find playing an instrument is a great way or upload thinking games on your device anything that will take youtr mind off how you feel

Go for walks, hikes exercise ,
Pilates, play an instrument or even listening to non stressful music helps
Draw/ Colour
Found a really cool app called pigment it's a colouring app
Go for a bike ride if you have one
Get together with family and friends try not to isolate yourself
The more you think positively the better you will feel
Having a positive outlook is key I know easier said but if you say you will get better and truly believe that you won't feel as stressed

anx is not a pleasent thing
recollect a few yrs back I got myself into a terrible situation and counsellor advised exercise bike to bring down blood pressure & it kinda worked & as you say shower helps too...
I'd talk to GP-try a bit of exercise-relaxation as you are doing +Flu ( will do no harm) - maybe music-maybe book-pics ?
things will get better and you are taking control and making good choices.

I find having something to look forward to helps( tv programme-music gig-coffeewith friends) - landmarks of things that are worthwhile : you may feel awful but having friends and family and caring about them - being able to share your thoughts as you are with others is empowering.
Humour is the epitome of human experience and very often people who have'nt had it easy have a great sense of humour and an ability to communicate and relate to the benefit of those around them.
was'nt it Churchill who said ' don't let the bs get you down and keep ... on going 'or words to that effect.take care and things will work out!

I am a late 50s and have had depression all my life - intertestingly I have used fluoxetine for the past 5 yrs and will probably continue with it in the forseeable future .
So I am no stranger to depression and I guess I have learned to live with it.
General guidelines - get as much help as you can from others- there is an openess about our health nowadays which is good - if you get help be prepared to put in 10 times that amount of effort.
Listen to medical advice - friend of mine has taken meds which did not agree so always need to be in communication with others.
If you are like me it could take a while and 3 steps forward -2 steps back - but I must say we can turn our lives around
Depending on your disposition get professionalhelp from drs,priest,counsellor etc- avoid negative situations and people - the rebuilding of our lives begins now.keep up the good work.
