Tingling/paresthesias/panic attacks

[LotusRising]

I apologize if this has been asked before, but I have searched the forum and not found the answer.

 

I am recently into my 6th week of being off of antidepressants. I tried a reinstatement of buspar 5 days ago, but had a huge flare up of symptoms and stopped after two days. Specifically, the "pins and needles/tingling" was only occurring in my scalp, was only mild and occurring at night time and my anxiety had lessened to some degree before trying to reinstate. Now, I am experiencing pins and needles more frequently and in more areas. I am also getting panic attacks out of nowhere. My doctor seems particularly concerned about the tingling and is sending me for a neuro consult. Has anyone else had a similar experience? 

 

My mind is of course going to worst-case scenarios (Multiple sclerosis), but I also did not have the tingling before I started antidepressants, which leads me to believe that this is just withdrawal symptoms.

 

thank you for any feedback,
