Keep a journal to help you through this process.
You will learn more about how anxiety affects your balance and how panic works for you.
Best wishes.
Hope things even out after your on it awhile. I also feel like I am more anxious after starting anti depressants. I am hoping to it goes away soon so I can feel the benefits of the meds. Best of luck to you.
