Generalized anxiety disorder and tingly fingers

I'm a 39 year old woman who has suffered wirh anxiety for over 10 years now...been on Effexor for 6 of those years. ..finding the meds arw starting to not work as my anxiety is at an all time high...I woke up a week ago with tingly ..numb feeling fingers. ..has anybody else gone through this?

Have the docs done blood work to see what may be causing the anxiety? I had that and it was malnutrition, caused by celiac disease, a very common, underdiagnosed disease (1 in 120 are believed to have it)  Hope you get tested smile   

What does your diet look like?  I know now that food really is our medicine.  After the test, dump the processed foods. ALL processed food is junk food. ALL of it.

The tingling could be from nerve damage in your neck (arthritis) and may be totaly unrelated. As we get older, things like that start to happen smile

 Hope you feel better soon!  

Yes although I have a Chronic Pain Condition

Do you know what caused your Anxiety and why it is now much worse.

Of course you could go back to talk to your GP and ask for some CBT.

Have you tried Relaxation Techniques, the Mindfulness Technique is an inclusive on where you can get books and tapes from Amazon. That may help in controlling your fears.

Sometimes the feelings in your fingers are just poor cirulation, many people have this problem and it is quite common in womans hands Your GP will be able to suggest ways of controlling this, are your hands cold as well. Generally washing your hands in warm water should help in the short term until your GP explains how He wants to treat it

Well I have this anxiety symtom myself. I wake up with numbness and tingling fingers it its once in a while not all the time that's how I know it's anxiety . its weird though
