So I’ve been taking sertraline and propranolol for 2 years for various anxiety problems. But a few weeks ago I suddenly started feeling very spaced out and weird, like my forehead is full of cotton wool. With it, I’m totally exhausted and feel very tense in my neck and shoulders. Every time i change my eye focus from something nearby to something far away, or vice versa, I feel a weird dizzying rush in my head. Also, I’ve become incredibly sensitive to loud noises and bright light. The only time I get any respite from this is when I’m asleep at night. I struggle through work for ten hours per day for five days of the week, but it’s getting so difficult!! What could this be??
Hi Simon, please see my post as i have some similar issues (with additional problems like pins and needles - back ache etc), everyone (docs - family) thinks its anxiety and since joining this forum there are a lot of anxiety sufferers with some of these symptoms too. i was on Sertraile on / off for years (not been in for about 4 years now). Im now seeing an Osteopath to see if they can help....
