I’m still anxious with bad tinnitus but those thoughts have passed now.
It should ease off but call your GP. for advice.

Thank you for your response, it is nice knowing I am not alone. If you don't mind me asking, how long did it take for the thoughts to stop for you and what dosage where you taking?

It’s like I had a personality transplant! I still can’t believe I’m going through this awful time.
Those thoughts of yours WILL eventually disappear.
