Hi guys recently I'm diagnosed with GAD. On 12th November I started taking ssri (safepram) Escitalopram 5mg along with 0.5 mg of Alpazolam. Doctor prescribed it to me and told me to use it for a month and visit him back after a month. So for the first few days I felt weird after taking the medicine, I don't know how to explain it maybe my body was adjusting to the medicine. It got better after a few days and then I started experiencing side effects of ssri like nausea, difficulty in urination, dry mouth, erectile dysfunction. And Alpazolam wasn't helping either, after taking medicine at 11pm at night I was sleeping at 4-5am in the morning before that I couldn't sleep. So I tempared the dosage and took half tablet of ssri and full tablet of Alp because it disturbed my sleeping pattern and I was sleeping whole day. Later I reduced alp to 0.25mg, So yesterday after 14 days I visited the doctor and told him about the dosage and side effects so he told me to continue taking ssri in the morning and stop taking Alpazolam. So last night I skipped my dose and now I can't sleep, it's been 24 hours and I'm sleepy but can't sleep. Maybe it's a withdrawal symptom of Alpazolam? I'm not sure but I literally can't sleep, experiencing palpitations whenever I try to sleep and it's making me anxious. I even skipped my ssri because they can cause insomnia and I already can't sleep so it's so uncomfortable for me. I even went on a walk in the morning so that I get tired and fall asleep but I can't. I've never experienced this before, I'm sweating, have palpitations, a slight headache. Can two weeks of usage of Alp can cause a seizure? I know maybe it's just me overthinking but I can't help it. Please tell me what I should do?
