I have panic disorder and agoraphobia. I have not been able to take the SSRI's because that's exactly what it does to me - that creepy feeling of icy ants crawling down or up your head and up your legs - it increases my anxiety and panic! It always freaks me out and then I end up worse than before. I suspect you're having anxiety/panic symptoms. Feeling this symptom and becoming frightened of it is what panic is. If you can feel this and just notice it as a symptom without "reacting" to it and just let it happen then you're ahead of the game. Don't let it progress to the point of beginning a cycle of symptoms - fear - anxiety - more symptoms - more fear etc. because then you join my ranks!
