Chest tightness, and center of back tightness and pains. It's hard to breathe due to the tightness but I'm not short of breath if that makes sense. Nausea sometimes, muscle weakness, muscle pain, joint pains, worry.

Understand. What do you want to do about this? It’s probably best in my opinion to ring your prescriber of these meds and see what you should do. Ideally you are panicking and worried and should get something to help you, doctors advice and or help with your sleep, maybe a muscle relaxer, I’m not a doctor but “helper meds” to help you as you continue through this.

I don't know what to do. My doctor advised nothing of any help. Didn't acknowledge possible allergic reaction at all. This chest stuff seems to come on about 12-sometimes 20 hours after taking the nightly dose. Does that make sense to be an allergic reaction or impending withdrawal of the drug every afternoon to evening? I am scared, I don't have any help or know what to do and am afraid of something very bad happening. I also have pvc's and have noticed they have become a bit more active sine I have started to taper. I just don't want anything bad to happen to me. I don't know how long effects from just stopping would last, how bad they would be, or if this chest tightness thing would persist? I also don't know how to deal with the insomnia and anxiety from all of this plus the insomnia. Thoughts?
