Also is it a addictive drug. If I take it for a few days and stop will I have any rebound anxiety or withdrawals?
I take citalopram also

Brief Answer:
Please avoid Orphenadrine

Detailed Answer:
Hello and welcome,

I advise you to strictly refrain from taking Orphenadrine to relieve the anxiety. Other much safer and effective medicines are available for the same like Propranolol, clonazepam. Please do yoga and meditation on daily basis to bring down the anxiety level.

Take care
Let me know if I can assist you further,
Dr Abhishek

Brief Answer:
Please stop taking it

I suggest that you don't ever take this without the advise of Neuro specialist. In case you have taken it for a day or two, please stop it now. Please avoid prolonged screentime, physical and mental overexertion.
