Hi everyone. So glad I found this forum. Been an anxiety sufferer simce school. All started with panic attacks during exams. Even got to the point where I was in hospital for a while. Been on various SSRIs.
For the past about 16 months I've been suffering really bad with balance and dizziness problems. It all started when I came off Lexapro, was on a 20mg dose. Ever since then my lifes been hell. The gp said it was all anxiety and stress and that it is showing itself in a different form. I've tried sertraline which didn't help and am now back on Lexapro at 5mg, have been for 12 weeks.
The derealisation is getting out of hand. Nothing seems real anymore. I constantly feel like I'm walking on sand or on a bouncy castle, if that makes sense. Lately my vision has been really bad too. Not as clear as it used to be. Swear, I'm convinced I've got a brain tumour. It's becoming more of a problem now than its ever been. Doesn't seem to be any light at the end of the tunnel.
Surely the physical symptoms can't be all anxiety related?
Sorry for rambling on. New to the forum and you guys, hopefully, have an idea what I'm talking about.
