at the moment im at my lowest i suffer from health anxiety the doctors changed me onto sitraline 50mg i took it for a month then he upped it to 100mg well i have never felt so bad in my life my heart was racing skipping beats i felt dreadfull was convinced there was something serioudly wrong with me. i went to hospital they said it was probally my meds . I have had an ecg both at the hospital and my doctors all ok yet i cant seem to get it into my head. The doctor is gradually weaning me off them but i dont know how much longer i can take feeling like this crying all the time. I have no interest in anythink even my grandchildren.. i feel worse every morning when i wakeas the day progresses i feel slightly better but its getting so i dont really want to be here anymore.

HI  Im so sorry your going thru this ! I Have had anxiety depression most of my life . IM also tired all the time , no matter what I do . IN my forties I Finally had to resort to meds . I take celexa and klonopin but I dont think the celexa works anymore !! IM now 64 and this crap really holds me back . I also do not see my Grandkids much and I feel like such a failure . I am in the house most if the time and I AM A WIDOW . So everything I do is up to me . SO I get it , health phobia is horrible it comes with the panic attacks ! IM always convinced I have a terminal illness . BUT Ive been to the DRS more then most people . A year and a half ago I had a complete physical and eeg and Mri , Heart tests cat scan . I Had a head injury . I also had a horrible Dr that liked to run as many tests as she could for the insurance money !! I HAD 3 EKG !! AND ECHO Cardio gram . ALL normal . Now Im convinced I HAVE something else . It never stops . I have four Grand children , ,and I HAVE NOT BEEN in their lives much . I WISH I had another person to talk to on the phone . So we could relate to each other !! GOD bless . Sorry IM writing from Iphone and it stays on upoer case unless I CATCH IT 

i feel for you. i have had this anxiety depression for five years. tried every drug, made me worse. sleep bad. think theres something else wrong. dr says no. i have diazepam for anxiety but im sure its not doing much good. i dont do normal,things. my grandkids hardly see me and i find it hard when they come. this is not a life. dr says i should try without meds but when i did i got worse. trying another one now, feel worse. dizzy so a walk is out. what is there for us? HAVE YOU HEARD OF transcranial stimulation. its new and people say it works. i would try anything
