Anxiety or something else?

[lofeoutthere]

I’ve been having all kinds of scary bizarre symptoms. Fuzzy head, being outside or in my car/in public I feel so funny my perception is off. Dizzy, vertigo/vestibular stuff all the time. Anytime I move my head I’m dizzy. Now just recently i feel so weird, foggy feeling, makes me want to drop. Hard to explain but I’ve had tests done and dr said anxiety. I’ve had anxiety before but NOTHING like this. I have no energy, none. Not functioning well. No appetite . I’m in a bad state really. It’s all mainly feelings/symptoms in my head. Also can’t concentrate/do much.

Anxiety can present itself in many forms. Have you talked to your doctor about your recent symptoms?

Yes but it has never been this bad of feeling. Also I don’t think the drs exactly realize just how I feel. It’s concerning. Like right now I feel horrible but I don’t feel anxious.

This is me for the last year... dr gave me zoloft I’m afraid to take it... and Xanax to help me take it afraid to take that too... it’s horrible I can’t even hardly go to a store anymore

Honestly the first couple weeks og zoloft is rocky but the xanax takes the edge off the side effects it was the only way I was able to start the zoloft. The xanax (diazepan) really help and still 7/8 weeks into my zoloft (sertraline) I take the xanax if I have a bad day.

Benzos are addictive but I havr stayed on 2mg as and when needed for 56 days give or take and was told to take up to 3 a day but have had 40 odd so not even one a day on average! I shall be speaking tobmy dr about keeping the xanax going as they have asked me to up my sertraline to 100mg

I can relate to all your saying been like that constantly for 2 years. We not anymore finally decided my last resort t o try hemp oil and in 6 da ys my whole life has changed. Today i went out and enjoyed lunch for the first time i was me again and so much energy. I'm alive again. So don't give up if doctors don't help try something else.

What did you all try that didn’t help?

Hi, anxiety puts a great deal of stress on the body, I need to take a multi vitamin. My doctor also suggests taking 2 times the dose if the person is over 50 years old. I am not sure which happened first, the dizziness or no appetite but not eating will deplete your energy level and just maybe the cause of the feelings you are having. You may want to pass it by your doctor again to see if he can offer some advice.
