Feeling of off balance and weakness. (Venting)

[ImHere_Again]

For several weeks now I have not been feeling well. I feel on the edge. I often feel like I am going to fall over. I felt the room physically spinning twice for a week in two different occasions. It happened randomly. I would be sleeping and wake up with a horrible feeling that I am spinning. It was triggered by head movements. It has gone away both times but now I feel like I am on the edge. It feels like that feeling may come back anytime. My knees feel so weak all the time; I feel like I can't even rest at night. I wake up randomly in the middle of the night feeling like I am falling. I have become less active. I am not sure if its anxiety anymore. I am starting to get more heart palpitations than before. My chest feels heavy a lot more. I know when these things happen it's my anxiety but I don't know about the feeling of off balance. I stopped taking my medication regularly a few months ago. I was feeling ok when I was taking them, and for that reason I thought I was strong enough to not take it. I gradually stopped. There are times where I take it when I feel really anxious, but I don't take them daily. Still, like I mentioned before, I dont know if itsy anxiety making me feel this way. It perhaps is because I had these feelings before I took medication, and even got tested on it. Its just been really hard to think positive right now. I feel like my life right now is stagnant. I don't get excited for the small things I used to get excited for, like just waking up and seeing the faces of my niece and nephew. I don't see positive change any time soon.

Hi,

I am sorry that you have no luck in stopping medication.

You may have not tapered slow enough so your body is stressed or your anxiety has come back as its been known to do.

If you have any meds left you could take them again. There is a small risk they may not be as effective as before.

I think it's back to the doctor for you as soon as possible

Yeah I have a few left so I think I just will take them. I hope it helps. Thank you so much!

Hello

I am sorry to hear you are suffering

I think a trip to the Doctors would be a good idea , maybe start the meds again , if something was helping I say stick with it and they obviously were

Even a phone consultation with your Doctor and see if they agree you should go back on the meds daily , taking an odd one here and there won't help long term and that is what you need

Let us know how you get on

Take Care x

I think I will have to see my doctor. I can't get a refill without speaking to her and I am low on my medication. I just hope it doesn't take a whole month to speak to her. Either ways thank you for your kind response!

Hello

When you phone tell them it is important and you need a call within a week

A month made me smile , I thought goodness hope you don't need them in a hurry !

Even say it is an emergency if you have to because it is you need this sorting , mental health is just as important as physical

Let us know how you get on x
