Anxiety??

[anonleo]

I’m freaking out. My hands are numb and my knees feel like locking up when I walk I feel like my legs are going to give out. I feel like I’ve been walking on a boat all day and my heart feels like it’s being squeezed and I feel like I have to force myself to breathe. :’( help me

A psyc once told me to dig my finger nails into my hands to get my mind off the anxiety. I also try deep breathing especially when I'm driving which is when my anxiety is the absolute worst.

I wish I could help. All I can do is say that I'm here if you want to talk.

If you have had all the tests which show you are healthy this is common and classic anxiety. Are you dealing with this and are you getting any medical help?

how scary this must feel. I had side effects of a med do this to me. If this is different, check it out online. Otherwise regular anxiety symptoms.

Hi I’m experiencing similar symptoms, it all started with my balance I couldn’t find my balance then I started to feel like I’m on a boat. Struggling to catch my breath as well, I went to the doctor and she said I’m suffering with anxiety and depression, I’ve recently started propanol and anti depressants I’m waiting for them to kick in it’s the worst feeling ever, go and seek help and I hope you feel better soon, I’m also having cbt therapy which is supposed to be good for anxiety

5-HTP WORKED FOR MY MORNING ANXIETY

My doctor tried Buspirone (Buspar) and Lexapro.

Both work with Serotonin.

No improvement. Just kept getting worse.

My doctor said to "give it time".

I talked to someone who used Lexapro for 4 years and it wasn't helping .

Then I started thinking that maybe there was no Serotonin in my brain for the meds to work with .

5-HTP is used to produce Serotonin.

It's like I was stepping on the gas pedal but the gas tank was empty.

I just started using 5-HTP yesterday for horrible Morning Anxiety/Dread.

I noticed a 90% improvement this morning.

I'm using Irwin Products Double Potency 5-HTP Extra for $22 at CVS.

I also took some Nature Made 3,000 mcg Sublingual Vitamin B-12 but I don't know if it helped or not.
