Hi everyone

My name is aamir 26 yr old from india ..

Actually i have had health before in 2017 from for 2 to 3 years but only physical anxiety i used to pain sometimes in my head sometimes abdominal etc etc

Did many scans mri to rule out but everything was clear and i was then diagnosed with somatic anxiety disorder

But with time my severity to it decreased without taking any medication….

In 2020 September i tried marijuana and took it until october 2021… i was fine my somatic symptoms were only 10 %

So then as i left the withdrawals were awful for 2 to 3 weeks ….but i got better and in November 25 i came to dubai for work….

In December i developed burning feet which even hurt while walking

Then the severity lowered but i developed a very heavinesses in my heart in january … didnt like anything … that fluttering in my chest … stopped going anywhere … it just started to grow and grow until i finally chose to go to a psychiatrist i have got severe anxiety i wake up with nervousness in the morning i feel weak no energy not talking to anyone lost in my thoughts …

The doctor prescribed me clonazepam0.5

And paroxetine cr 12.5

But i cant take clonazepam daily as i feel like i will get dependent on it ….

And its 2nd week on paroxetine and i cant see any improvement yet

Please if any one knows how my morning nervousness will go away … i just wake up in the middle of night around 4 and then i cant sleep😣

Please any help

I really sympathize! In my experience, the anxiety and nausea was the worst for the first 2 weeks of 10 mg Paroxetine, then the anxiety and nausea gradually decreased. After 1 month, I noticed improvements in anxiety, but really noticed improvements in anxiety after 3 months. Most of my side effects were gone by 6 months. I hope you find relief soon! Stick with it for at least 6 months, I would humbly recommend.
