---and still it goes on.

Not had a good weekend. Seeing doctor this afternoon. Ocular migraine won't go away. Full head and waving tinitus. Sweating. No energy. Constipation and abdominal pains. I really want to ask you which of these symptoms you would put down to withdrawal from medication and which might be something else---more serious--like a brain tumour?

I had really bad tension type headaches. Tinitus, flashing lights, lack of energy, poor sleep and constipation. Thought it was a brain tumour. Neurologist said I had over sensitised my brain through anxiety. Have they checked behind your eyes. I went to the optician so they could have a good look all negative. On amitriptyline and propanol.

Hello there. My eyes were checked thoroughly short ago by a consultant as I have

glaucoma which is treated with drops. I have a cataract starting but not yet ready for removing.The drops are keeping the eye pressure down so I have no worries re that at the moment.

The result of my visit to the dr's yesterday is that it's the withdrawal from the antidepressant that is causing most of my problems. I have another 2 weeks to wait before they should go away. The increased tinnitus is due to my ears being full of wax. I have to see an ear consultant to remove it by suction as I can't get water in my ears (syringing). I always feel better after a visit to my dr. He takes my anxiety away with his expert info and reassuring manner.Thank you, Mary.
