as my dose increased up to 2000mg i was getting sensation of scared moments that would over come me, with racing heart, I was able to shake those off but they were gettin strong, just feeling like scared not like a boo scared like something major is about to happen type of scared. AS i started my taper, those weird feelings vanished, now all i'm left with is jammed emotions that make me wanna cry and it's a lump feeling in my throat so i try and cough it away but they are just sitting in my throat for no reason like i want to cry.

@rachelp76 Good Morning
The symptoms you described — racing heart and those overwhelming, jammed emotions — are something I've experienced myself with certain AEDs. Truly no fun, and I want you to know you're not alone in that.
From what you've shared, it sounds like a definitive diagnosis may still be pending. Getting clarity on whether epilepsy is involved is such an important first step. If at all possible, I'd encourage you to seek an evaluation from a neurologist with specific expertise in epilepsy — not all neurologists have that specialization — or ideally an epileptologist.
Sending you my wishes for answers, comfort, and brighter days ahead!
Chris
