Been on 10mg of escitalopram for 3 weeks

Hey all,

Just a bit of a back story I was on 40mg of citalpram a few years ago, went off that when I got pregnant with my third child. Was going ok until last year our house burnt down and we lost everything we owned. I handled that surprisingly well it wasn't until a few months later I started suffering from panic attacks. They are only when I drive which causing me to stop driving for a while. I was on 10mg of escitalpram a few months ago. Silly me thought they weren't working and were just causing me to put weight on so I stopped before Xmas last year. Now I'm back to square one had a massive panic attack a few weeks ago and decided I need to go back on them. I couldn't get a doctor's appointment until the 9th of April and I sure as he'll wasn't waiting until then to do something.

So I've been on them for 3 weeks now and at the moment I feel a bit weird. I feel a bit blazay but normal at the same time, has anyone experienced this? Does this mean the meds are finally kicking in?

All day everyday I struggle with anxiety in my chest, my heading constantly spinning even though I can see straight, sometimes numbness in parts of my body, chest pain and tingly feet although my feet haven't tingles as much the past week.

Sorry for the long post I hope someone reads this and can relate.
