So since i came off a med i was taking for exactly 1 yr, Nortryptyline, Ive been feeling horrible. Im now on month 4 and just feel like my life has done a 360. Im having every anxiety symptom possible. But the one’s that been scaring me the most is the feeling i get in my legs of like ache, numbness, tingling, feel they will give out, and this pressure feeling i get on my butt and butthole, and it generates to my legs. I’ve been to the doc and she’s ran tests and nothing. She now says it might be IBS… NOW not sure if to blame this on anxiety too. But my anxiety has quadrupled since may to now. All i do is go to work and come home as now im afraid to drive anywhere with my kids. Im constantly googling my symptoms, i feel like an anxious zombie every day. I just feel off/awful/in a daze. I get worse days where i feel a black cloud is over me and makes me cry… Like i dont know what to do anymore. I went to see the neurologist for a pain i have in the back of my head/neck for which she had originally prescribed the nortryptyline for and she took me off it in May. Well now she wants to put me on Cymbalta. I honestly dont want to take any meds. im dont with the sideeffects, and i dont want to be dependent on drugs… Im doing everything possible to fix myself now …i started going to accupuncture, i go walking every morning, i drink lots of water and tea. Im trying to take CBD, and see if that would help, but i just feel so overwhelmed!!! Im in a bad mood everysingle day… All the symptoms i feel on a daily basis: Dissiness, headache, head pressure,off balance, when i stand still i feel i sway and im going to collapse, i get shaky as soon as i getup, chest presssure, cant breath feeling, weird leg feelings, eye vision off, Overall feeling of doom and just in a dream state like…Oh and i started going to a therpist, barely on second metting,so not sure if he’s helping… I needed to vent…
I am going through this too! Its been the worse for 3 years now. My biggest fear is something neurological. Mine started with sore legs 3 years ago and sore for no real reason ans i went to Dr. Google and diagnosed myself with MS. The next day all the symptoms started. Twitching, zaps, numbness, tingling, & the list goes on. They have been there ever since. Not daily but more days than not. Today i read a gofundme account and the young lady had MS and i googled and now convinced I have it again. Id love to believe it is anxiety but my doctor refuses to do MRI because she believes it’s anxiety.
this is my life i feel like your talking about me, but what your having is severe anxiety or health anxiety and also your experiencing depression as well the IBS, i would say go to your GI dr and let them know your symtoms, these also sound like IBS i will advice get bowel check for a diagnosed cause you dont want your dr diagnosing you with something you might not have because IBS cant be picked up on bloodtest. stress/ anxiety can bring on IBS alot of things can actually bring on the symptoms, an honestly am trying to find relief for my anxiety but its hard cause mines is based around my health, i battle with acid reflux and IBS and when i have a flare up thats when my anxiety and depression going to full affect
i also am addicted into researching symptoms and when i keep researching i would find things i dont want to find and then i would get terrified but any tension behind your head as well is from anxiety. all of the symptoms you mention i struggle badly with them everyday
i have constant head pressure and just an odd feeling in my head that makes me shake it because i feel its going numb and that immediately drives me into a panic attack, just like 1 hr ago. This weird sensation came over my head like my head or brain was going numb and i couldnt feel it and so it threw me over the edge and i started shaking, my heart was racing my legs went numb i literally felt i was going to faint. Im still sitting here at work, now with full on anxiety because my body is on over drive. My best friend suffers anxiety just like i do, and we are each others shoulder to lean on only she lives in another state. Im so fed up this daily, i feel im not living only existing and its making my life miserable and im so afraid to loose my job over this…
oh thats the first thing i thought too, was MS, then when i do feel bad i always think omg, i cant feel my arm or my leg and im loosing sensation in my body and its funny how we actually do start feeling these things… its horrible. So now I feel i have everything possible. All this gives me depression.

seems lethargic and always want to lie in bed .
you are from which country . are you on whats app ?
Im from los angeles california! I have a huge feeling the med does this to us once we get off it! and its probably due to the fact that our body craves it now!! im a huge ball of anxiety on a daily basis!!! YES im on whats up!!
I was trying to explain that head feeling to my therapist last week! I’m so happy (and sorry) to find someone else who experiences it. It’s like you said, I get that head numbing sensation and it throws me into a panic. I’m really struggling with it at work right now. Often panicking and crying because feel like i’m going to faint or am losing control. I’m afraid of losing my job. I pull on my hair and weirdly pat my head in an attempt to ground myself.
i have had many symptoms, anxiety, agitation, etc. and all were made worse by anti depressants. they tried many then took me off. yes, coming off these definitely gives you withdrawal symptoms, dr doesnt tell you about them, they have given me valium and i am having to manage my symptoms. yes, i have the health anxiety i am always looking up all my symptoms on internet, its like OCD but i have not been diagnosed with that, just general anxiety disorder. Whatever, its not an easy way to live.
