Talk to experienced psychiatrist online and get your health questions answered in just 5 minutes.
Your symptoms do sound very distressing, but they do not clearly sound like a primary psychiatric relapse alone.
Next Steps
Avoid repeatedly changing antidepressants rapidly; Since you were stable previously on Paroxetine, it is reasonable to discuss with your psychiatrist
Health Tips
Cervical muscle spasm/posture/physiotherapy. Sleep restoration for a few nights. Hydration, caffeine reduction, screen/light exposure at night. BP monitoring.

These symptoms can be very distressing, but anxiety and panic can also amplify body sensations after cervical spasm/pain. Since clonazepam helped you sleep, stress and hyperarousal may be contributing too. Don’t suddenly stop or change medicines on your own. Follow up with your psychiatrist and also consult a physician/neurologist to rule out cervical nerve or vestibular issues. Meanwhile, focus on sleep, hydration, neck relaxation, and avoid excessive symptom checking. Most importantly, these symptoms are treatable and manageable.
