Feeling disconnected from reality, help!!?

So this all started back about 5 months ago. I was very big on parties, clubbing and drugs. I ended up taking an awful amount of drugs in one night and having an overdose. During this time I blacked out and had a very vivid dream I had a heart attack (I felt the entire thing). The moment I hit the floor dead in my dream I woke up and had these pains in real life. I've been to a cardiologist and they've said I'm fine. So they said I have a generalized anxiety disorder because I'm been having heart attack like feeling every single day since this has happened without fail. The only thing I'm worried about now is not dying from a heart attack so much anymore but mainly this feeling I have recently began to get. I feel like my anxiety is slowly getting worse, I feel insane. I feel like I'm disconnected from reality, I always have constant dizzy spells, headaches, I currently feel really sick and much more. I'm so worried. I also spend a lot of time worrying about what life really is. Sounds crazy I know. I just get really focused and think about things too much and I begin to think the following; 

- How are we even alive? 

- What is life?

- Why are we here?

- I'm going to die and there's nothing I can do to prevent it (DEATH SCARES THE LIVINIG S**T OUT OF ME)

and so forth...

I really need help but I do not want to take antidepressants. I've only heard back about them and people have said they have made things much worse for them. I really do not know where to turn for help at this moment in time. If anyone could suggest something please do as this is taking over my life LITERALLY. I have even done a sport in such a long time due to my fears. I need help bad. Thank you in advance for taking the time to read through and reply.

I'm in the same situation as you. Have suffered from anxiety since a bad shroom trip almost 5 months ago. I didn't do anything about it because people said that it's all in my head, but I know now that it's not. I have been taking 5-HTP (50mg in the morning and 50mg at night) and B-complex vitamins every morning and literally just now have started to feel like I'm coming back to reality. It's been 6 days since I started the 5-HTP. I will double my dosage to 100mg after the 7th day. I would highly recommend this supplement! I have been taking NOW brand but I don't know where you are from, but in Europe we have Neolexan which is pharmacy-grade 5-HTP and is much cheaper than supplements. I know all your symptoms all too well, but I just want to say, that you will be back to normal!

Also I don't know where you have heard about antidepressants being bad, but I have to oppose this claim. Everywhere around, except the mainstream media, everyone is saying how antidepressants are a gift from God and have helped them amazingly! You have no idea how many people take antidepressants and love them and have helped them take back their life! Side effects occur in %1-2 of people and even then they are mild (nausea, diarrhea). You only hear the horror stories, because for those who have worked, they don't mention it! What I'm trying to say is, if you go to a psychiatrist and they prescribe a antidepressant, more to be precise - SSRIs, do not be scared of them! They will be the crutch for you to fix your broken mental status, just like when you brake your leg you need a crutch!
