Please please someone reassure me this will get better

I was only on 10-15mg for 3-4 weeks.

Ive been off for 12 days - first few days were okay could still get 3-4 hours of sleep. But now i have a racing heart 24/7 and major anxiety that comes along with it. I have not been able to sleep because of it. Im so scared ill never sleep again. My heart rate was 95 just resting this morning and 140 after getting up!

did anyone else have insomnia / racing heart and how long for you to feel better!

please help my mind is going to dark places! and im tempted to use a pill again
