GAD and Cipralex

So a little bit about my condition:

I've had anxiety and panic attacks since I was 15. When I was 15 I was given prozac which I shortly stopped do to some of the side effects I did not like. I managed to find ways of dealing with my anxiety on my own or just dealing with it and not caring. I moved to the states at 19 where I was diagnosed with General anxiety disorder and given zoloft to take after going through some majour episodes of anxity and panic attacks. The zoloft I guess worked after about a month I was feeling better so i stopped taking it. about 3 years later this months I was prescribed with cipralex and clonazepam. Although the doctor wants me off the clonazepam eventually.

A little bit about my anxiety:

So my anxiety and panic attacks are majour ones. Speeding/pounding heart, light headed, sweeting, cold, uncontrollable shaking, feeling like your going to pass out any moment, arms or legs going numb, throat goes dry, etc

Reason for posting:

Well i just started cipralex last monday. Now the whole reason why i got prescribed it was I was feeling tightness in my chest constant so I went the the hospital. They did an ECG and blood test and everything came back normal. So the emerge doctor gave me 10 tablets of clonazepam until i made an appointment with my doctor. So I made the appointment and gave my doctor the paperwork from the hospital. We talked and shes prescribed me the cipralex and clonazepam for when it's really bad. So going back to I've only been on the cipralex for a week. Do symptoms get worse before getting better? The whole week up until friday night I was feeling fine. Friday night I went to bed and I *********d (as embarrassing as that is to say in public) Shortly after I received a burning sensation up my torso,arms,neck,and face like my skin was on fire. This brought on a panic attack and such so i layed there shaking and the usual till I eventually passed out. The next day I kept getting burning sensation in my upper body while my legs below the knee would get cold. Along with all that was my usual symptoms. So again I went back to the hostpital. This time they did another ECG, and blood work. Everything normal. I don't think the doctor understood my about the burning sensations I was having because she said it was acid reflux. So she gave me something for that and I went home. The next day I went to my clinic in the urgent care section which means you see the doctor covering that and not your family doctor. she said to stop taking the cipralex and to keep a diary to see if the symptoms go away and then if they do to start it back up and talk to your doctor. So I went home. That night when I went to bed constand tightness and pounding in my chest kept me awake. I'd fall asleep to wake up in an hour or 2 because of it. So i called in sick at work and stayed home. At about noonish I went to the hospital again. This time the big one here. They did an ecg and listend to what I had to say. The doctor said theres no point in doing bloodwork if I had it done the other day it wouldnt be different. She said the ECG came back normal. She said to continue taking the cipralex that sometimes the symptoms get worse before getting better. She said if it comes down to getting bad take the clonazepam to feel better. I always do the worse thing as well and look up my symptoms online. :P So my question to anyone on it for anxiety is did your symptoms get worse before getting better?
