What pyhsical symptoms do people get with anxcity please??? Be interested to no x
Hi, my anxiety is getting worse. Headache, numbness, lump in my throat feeling, shaking, palpitations. 😔
I don't get anxiety now, but when I did I felt tetchy, always had an uncomfy feeling in my chest, palpitations, couldn't concentrate, felt my heart beating in my throat, and just felt like I wanted to run away from it all.
How did you get over it?
Ye im like that at mo but got the horrible sensation in me throat carnt describe it did u get that?? Im tense alot too x
I recovered from years of depression and anxiety just by taking these SSRI medications at 20mg. It took a long time, but slowly I got better as each month went by. By about 6 months I felt really good and continued to improve as more time went by. That was 15 years ago (I'd been ill for. 15 years too).
I'd taken tri-cyclic meds for years with no success and had CBT and counselling, but never really felt comfortable with it. The new SSRI meds made me feel ill with side effects, but what was the alternative ... the depression/anxiety I had or continue on the new meds. I continued and couldn't believe it as I started to feel better and back to being the me I used to be.
What are SSRI's please? I was doing better whilst taking citalopram but a nightmare since I stopped. Been taking ametriptyline for a week. The throat thing is the hardest symptom for me to deal with usually lasts for weeks x
Ive been like this since xmas was on citalapram but changed me to sertraline 3 week ago started feelin good but gone off it again we my throat and tension its uncomfatable x
Hi amy i was on citalaopram but changed me to sertraline as the other gave me palpertations felt loads better on sertraline im just same we throat thing and tension mainly in my neck but thats wat doctor says the throat is tension x
How do you control it?
Wat the throat thing??? I carnt really i try and ignore and drink lots of water its all about relaxing but when your like us its hard x
Yes! Mine had gone until last night. Decided to have a curry some rice got stuck in my throat and I panicked, now it's been back all day 😔
I no how u feel love its not nice and hard to ignore it i try my best sat here now and me throat is so tense and me head and neck i troed diszapan but its not for me x
I was going to ask for that when I see the GP next week. Does it relax you? I can't live like this anymore and it's only been 2 years different things keep happening to me and I don't know why x
Yes it dus and helps u sleep i took it a on night but it makes u feel so spaced out and the nxt day i was dixzzy i only had 5mg but yhey really strong well they was for me x ive been for hypnoses and meditation which relaxes u but dnt always last as im back at square one x what helps me too is ive started reading alot and turning off the telly also i downladed a calming album on my phone and lay and listen to it x
Bloody awful isn't it so hard to focus on anything else. I'm thinking I'm worse brcause I've changed meds but who knows x
Ive learnt meds can make u bad befor they make u better so that keeps me going also alot of side effects x
I just hate the whole situation, it makes me feel ill all the time. The thing in my throat is so hard to cope with when I get it it just doesn't go and I always think I can't live like this. Like somebody is grabbing my throat all the time.
Amy i no just how u feel love i honestly do hun are u taking any meds for the anxiety?? X
I'm weaning myself off citalopram because they gave me acid. The doc put me on amytriptyline for headaches, but I don't think they are strong enough as an antidepressant. Might go back on the otheres x
