Help, I had SSRI complication. Its been 2 months I’m still loopy

I think I had Seratonin Syndromes on the first day when I took both Escitalopram, benzodiazepines  and herbal supplements (B6, B12, Folate

Chaga mushroom herbs + reishi

Ashwaganda, lutein, enzymes

Milk thistle, probiotics

Magnesium + calcium

Vitamin C). Not sure which of those is the culprit. I went to see my PCP, he knew nothing. Went to see Psychiatrist the same there, referred to Neurologist, did some blood test and MRI. It all came out negative or normal. Except there is a remark on MRI result that says “mild mucuperiosteral thickening in the ethmoid air cells”. Which the Neurologist didn’t bother to explain what that is. 

It’s been two months. Im still feeling out of it although I feel better than the first day of the onset.

My brain is very foggy, I feel imbalance at times. I feel weakness in my muscles. My arms and legs muscle are tight at times. I get tired easily. When I do get tired it’s as though the original illness is coming back full fledge. When tired I can feel pulsating mild pain at the back of my neck on the left side. Right on ear level. I have to meditate or sleep to calm it down and recover. 

Just recently my stomach is feeling a needle-point very mild pulsing pain on the left side just under the left ribs. It comes and goes. Also at one point I can feel piercing sensation the tip of my right toe. But that’s gone now, only left the pulsing pain in the stomach.

I wonder if any of you out there had been through this and how do you go about it? Im off all meds now, its been 2 months. All I did was rest,eat healthy, and acupuncture. But I feel like there might be a side effect of this and that I need to know what it is to make sure I can go back 100% to my normal self. 

Help
