Your fine ... I know the feeling McKay I went through them all the fog and discomfort being detached from the world it will fade away your not crazy it's all anxiety and a few side effects from the Meds this is why I keep pushing you to start eating healthy and take a multivitamin for breakfast also stay hydrated what ever you do no caffeine what's so ever or soda stay natural I got the same symptoms in the beginning they didn't started fading away after my third month but I started feeling much better when I changed my eating habits and started all the Natrual supplements ...

What natural supplements are you taking? I'm staying hydrated always drinking water is flinestone vitamin considered a multi vitamin? I also take omega 3 I barely have an appetite anymore so it's hard to try and eat healthy were you ever like that?

Hello. Anixtey can be terrible it tricks you into all these different symptoms which causes panic, I'm new to this "Anixtey" thing, the less atention you give your symptoms the better you'll feel. I've taken ativan and it's been a lifesaver just minus the addiction part. Try some healthy distractions. Just know that everyday is different and it won't kill you.
