Hi does anyone else get the dizzy , tingling , off balance legs weak face tingling want to faint attacks. I take a xanax i am fine when it wears off they start right back up constantly all day. anyone else any ideas?
yes i get this as well along with a new symptom. i feel like my body is about to go into convulsions. i start shaking really bad. are u stressed?
I guess so. I just want it to go away. its so scary I feel like i can just fall over and die. I have been checked from head to toe from every kind of specialist
hi Klove…YES! I get the exact same thing!
it’s absolutely awful!
I used to take valium (which helped), but my doc stopped prescribing it about 8mo ago due to a respiratory problem I’m dealing with.
I’m doing just HORRIBLE w/o it!!
do you think Xanax is a better choice than valium?
is it more effective?
HI
Yes i get the exact same thing! when i am worried about something which is quite often sadly. my body goes into panic mode and i have all those symptoms. its awful. i feel scared. i get given diazepam from time to time but not often. i also have quetiapine.
Living with anxiety is ■■■■! sorry that you too go through this.
IDK i have never been prescribed Valium. Is it addicting? Xanax is so they usually dont prescribe it for long term use but my doctor has me on it 3xs daily and it is no longer working I believe I need a higher dose now. Does the Valium cause respiratory problems?..Do you take any SSRI?
hi again Klover…yes, valium is a benzo. it CAN interfere with respiratory function…I had a med procedure done a few years ago that went awry!
it caused me to have a paralyzed diaphragm which interferes with my lung compassity.
I don’t see this as a problem but my doc is EXTREMELY conservative. however, he’s NOT the one struggling!!
I’m fighting to get put back on a benzo right now!
I hate the “I feel like i am going to faint feeling” Do you get that to. It is just all so hard to believe its all anxiety
Yes, its Anxiety, I am like this every day, I also take xanax, they help for a few hours, then I feel it all coming back…somedays my balance is so bad I cant walk without holding on to someone…also get the tingly feeling in my feet,and the weakness..got loads of tests done, but blood works all normal…I cant take A/Ds because I have high pressure in my eyes…only thing I take is xanax, I know they are addictive, but without them, I would not get out of bed…Please let me know if you find anything that helps you..x
i cant remember feeling like i will faint but i feel weak and shaky.
It is awful just what anxiety does to us. And people just dont believe it or think we are drama queens. My anxiety has got worse over the last few years after huge changes in my career and work which i am sad to say i live for which is why it has hit me so hard.
Always here if you need a chat.
boy klove, you are SO right about folks not believing how anxiety effects us! I’m so tired of being referred to as dramatic! it really hurts my feelings and it’s SO not true!
being in a constant state of anxiety IS dramatic…it effects every aspect of your life!!
it does indeed affect every aspect of your life, you are correct.
it is debilitating.
This totally sucks!..I hate this feeling! Have you ever actually passed out or feel over. One day my legs started trembling so bad I lost full balance and feel I could hear but It took me a minute to get my words out. There has to be something that works i am on .5 mg since April I am now at the point where I need to take 2 at one time. And yes your right it last for about 4 hours then symptoms are right back. so you say you cant take Lexapro or zoloft nothing like that. I have to do something I am thinking about trying it. What about CBT?
