Missing 4 days of fluvoxamine

Hello,

My fluvoxamine was packed in our suitcase that is now “delayed” (won’t make that mistake again). Anyway, I wasn’t able to take it for 4 days and ended up with the worst panic and anxiety. I have since refilled my prescription and have taken it for 3 days and now I have new side effects (even with being on it for many years previously).

I guess I’m wondering if it’s possible to have withdrawal symptoms even after only missing 4 days AND is it possible to experience side effects when restarting the medication despite having taken it for many years.

I know that this is likely what is happening, but my ocd and anxiety is trying to convince me this is a new issue.

Thanks for your help.
