Paradoxical Reaction?

Well I had the worst morning I can ever even dream up. I have been taking the Now brand called "cortisol support" and it has a combination of ingredients. What happened to me this morning I pray is because I have taken this supplement.

I woke up with the morning anxiety/dread so severe I could not think clearly at all, I was walking around not knowing what do at all. I even thought of taking a full 20msg dose Lexapro. (but I didn't)

I felt sorrow, grief, anxiety, panic all at the same time .. my head was pounding and I now can I say .. felt like I would not mind being deceased. I did not want to kill myself but at the same time I would have not minded in that time period if I were just to suddenly die.

I am shaken and scared of what tomorrow might bring. I was taking one capsule 3 times a day of Now "Super Cortisol Support".
could this have been a "paradoxical reaction"?

I was taking this supplement in hopes to calm down my cortisol levels in hopes that it would calm down that morning anxiety/dread feeling and yet it the opposite happened. It makes sense. Out of the blue after 7 days of tapering would this just happen on it's own? or did the Supplement have a paradoxical effect I keep hearing about from people deal with antidepressant withdrawal.

I can promise you one thing I will only be taking the fish oil and the magnesium. right now I am scared to death and if I call my Doctor he will just want me to take Klonopin and I think that is the last thing I need right now.

We will see what tomorrow brings.
