Long story short, I've had anxiety for many, many years. Was on meds, then they quit working. Stopped cold turkey so then I had anxiety with withdraw. Oh, what hell I've been through. I have struggled to go to work with feelings of panic, depersonalization, and just feeling sick all the time, Work ended last Friday, and instead of a relief, I feel worse.
Does anyone else feel very tired and unmotivated and sick all the time, I don't want to eat and don't have any energy. I am still anxious too.
I see people talk about chest pain, stomach issues, racing heart, etc. I have that too, but don't see a lot about pure exhaustion and feeling too bad to do anything.
Thanks all.
When did you quit the meds,I was informed by my doctor and the internet NEVER quit an anxiety med youve taken on a regular basis cold turkey,you must slowly reduce the amount you take,if not it can be quite dangerous, ive been on mine for years,they barely work,i mostly just take them to avoid bad withdrawal symptoms. Should I want to quit,he acts like he'd want to put me on an antidepresant which I dont want,Ive also read valium is sometimes given when reducing anxiety meds during the tapering to quit.
See a therapist, meds are never a "cure", and often therapy alongside or instead of meds is a better option
Yes I have that to. Feel really tired cant motivat myself to do anything. Even doh I want to do it, I try so hard to push past it. My body will not let me. It upsets me deeply. A prisoner in my own body.
Same here, no motivation, tired, lack of energy have to push myself all the time.
I hope you find an answer as i am having similar problems. I have no energy and suffer anxiety with agitated depression. Dr gave me valium but its not enough. Now wants me to take mirtazapine with small dose of olanzapine. I have had anti depressants before but they make me worse, does anyone know if i take olanzapine it will help my anxiety and not turn me into a zombie like some others?
Only makes sense you'd be exhausted,you are so stressed from the anxiety and its symptoms.
I am always exsausted! I always feel tired and with no energy but I try to push myself for the sake of both of my girls. Other than that Oh LORD I'd probably be home in bed all day my body isnalways tired doesnt matter how much sleep I get. But I push myself even when I feel like I can't. And I'm on Meds too so sometimes it makes me feel very off and weird. I first was on zoloft was working good for about six months until it stopped working. Then I got switched to prozac and its been a month already and the first three weeks i can say I felt great but on the fourth week it went downhill! I started feeling very fearful like I was having these thoughts of me dying and im still battling against it. I also have these thoughts like Im going to go insane its very scary even though its my mind playing games and I'm not physically going to go insane. Never in my life have I suffered from mental illness until I had my second daughter in 2015 and it was all knew to me. When it began I was very tired and wasnt able to do nothing not even eat. I just wanted to lay in bed 24/7 I just didnt have the strength to cook, clean care for my kids or even go out and enjoy myself like I used too. I was miserable. So I completely understand you because I still feel tired and even if i take multivitamins and eat heathy I still am very much tored all the time.
