I'm hoping someone can help. I recently about 3 weeks ago stopped the antidepressant I was taking, it was mirtazapine. It really helped my anxiety and the vertigo disorder I gave, but had side effects. My health anxiety is back bad. I wake each day with adrenaline and anxiety. My psychiatrist put me on Ativan but I'm afraid to take it everyday. All my muscles ache, nausea, worry and fear, headaches. All I can think about is how this is effecting my heart. I can't stop thinking about being anxious and I keep reading what it can do. I'm consumed with it. I feel paralyzed like I'm afraid to move, I feel like a fool. I don't know how to stop thinking about getting a disease. Does anyone else feel like this 24/7?
Yeh i suffer from health anxiety and have these symptoms 24/7 plus more.. still seeing doctors to rule out anything sinister though
I have the constant dizziness and chest pain headaches body numbness the whole nine yards everything sharp pains in my head I'm super sensitive to every feeling I have want to go to doctor but no health insurance I live In constant fear I feel like I'm never calm
Hi. Understand, have that feeling with my anxiety when it's bad. Wake feeling my heart is racing, butterflies in stomach, shakey , then the racing thoughts start, worrying about 'will I wake up every morning like this. It is awful, but so far it has always passed and been down to just going through a bad patch with my anxiety. Your gp probably gave you Ativan to calm you as your coming off med, this can give you similar symptoms , waking shakey and heart racing. Hope this passes for you, know it's scary but could just be pure anxiety, see your gp again if it carries on much longer. 😊❤️
Hello, I'm currently on Prozac once every three days and Ativan whenever my anxiety gets really bad which lately it had been every other day. Dizzy, shaky, heart racing, etc. I also think that there most be something else wrong with me. I have had several tests done, even an MRI of my brain because of the dizziness. I do have hypothyroidism and I'm not sure if I'm reaching my pre menopause symptoms as I'm 42 yrs old. I really would like my doctor to referred me to an obgyn doctor and a endocrinologist. I sometimes think all of these symptoms could be hormonal. Not sure what to think anymore. Lately, the dizziness, nervousness and shakyness are Gerry worse. I do understand your frustration. I really hope we all find a cure to this horrible disease. Hugs!
Patty818,
Das ist typische Angst.. die für mich Angst ist. Sie wird dich verzehren, wenn du es zulässt. Ich habe gelernt, mir selbst zu sagen: Hör auf, übermäßig zu sorgen, denn es macht mich krank. Ich habe kürzlich meine Buspar-Dosis fast auf nichts reduziert, aber ich habe es sehr langsam über das letzte Jahr hinweg getan. Ich habe es nicht einfach abgesetzt, denn das kann sicherlich starke Angst auslösen. Ich habe immer noch Panikattacken und Angst, aber ich habe gelernt, mich anzupassen, indem ich weiß, dass das Sorgen nur übertrieben ist (es zu identifizieren) und auch versuche, ein gutes Hobby wie Musik oder Spaziergänge zu finden, um mich auf etwas anderes zu konzentrieren. Ein Sedativum könnte für dich im Moment eine gute Option sein. Dein Arzt würde es dir nicht verschreiben, wenn du eine Herzerkrankung hättest. Ich hasse es, Medikamente zu nehmen, aber wenn ich sie weiter nehmen muss, werde ich es tun. Nur du kennst dich selbst. Viel Glück.... Ich hoffe, ich bin irgendwie eine Hilfe.
Out of interest, why did you stop taking the antidepressant? I completely sympathise with you... I had a breakdown at the start of the year and was saved by mine (Prozac). If you’ve gone downhill since stopping, that tells me they were benefitting you? Of course I’m not a doctor but I can relate so stontgly to everything you’re saying... I wouldn’t even consider coming off my anti depressant at this stage. Let us know. Love and thoughts. Xx
I stopped it because of side effects, I was swelling and having extreme legs aching. I tried other meds and had effects. Now I'm on the Ativan only but really don't like it. But will continue trying.
Mit dir zusammen schien ich mehr Nebenwirkungen zu haben, wenn ich Medikamente einnahm. Ich habe Buspar eingenommen. Es hat mich so gemacht, dass ich nicht klar denken konnte, mich bei der Arbeit nicht erinnern konnte ... also habe ich es allmählich abgesetzt, damit ich funktionieren konnte!
