Hello, I've been on 25mg for a month now and my dr upped my dose to 50mg. Tonight was my first night taking the 50mg and I was fine for 4 and a half hours when out of nowhere it felt like my throat was closing. My tongue felt numb/swollen, my mouth got extremely dry, I tried drinking water but found no relief. I don't know if I should go to the ER due to my throat closing or if it's anxiety and my body needing to adjust to the increase in dosage. HELP!!!!

    Try taking some deep breaths could be side effects from the medication

      Did you ever experience any of this with the medicine? When I started taking the 25mg I experienced this for the first week but not as bad and my dr said it wouldn't happen again because the medicine is already in my system
