Throat sensation like a catch in my throat

I made a decision to stop taking my Cipralex after 10 days of 5mg. I stopped cold turkey and felt OK for the 1st 2 days but today the zaps have started. These I can handle as I've experienced them many times with going on and off Paxil.
Today I have a strange throat sensation I haven't had before.
Not only are the flutters back but I feel a rough sensation almost like I've had a cold and have been coughing a lot.
I'm wondering if it's GERD related because it's almost burning feeling but more like a catch in the throat sensation. I can't describe it any other way. It doesn't feel like something is stuck, not globus like I've had before.
Anyone?!

PG i do this and it feels a little like i'm catching a cold or throat problem, gerd can and will make your
throat and eustachian tubes feel irritated, take something for stomach acid and see if it don't help. Peace

PG,

Sorry you are not feeling well. Use your coping skills and call your doctor tomorrow if things are not better. He/she may have some advice on how to get through the discontinuation more comfortably...fish oil, or other supplement perhaps...
