Been back to the doctor today for my medication review. I started four weeks ago on sertaline 50mg and was increased to 100mg 12 days ago.
I started to feel slightly better after three weeks however woke up in a night sweat a week ago which brought my symptoms back.
What I feel
Tired all the time. Constantly watching the clock for time to pass and assessing if I'm tired or not.
I sleep for 8 hrs and wake or am restless lots. But I am sleeping.
Poor appetite. No weight loss.
Stomach pain and acid reflux and diarrhoea loss stalls.
Sinus blocked.
Sore throut and wake with a dry mouth daily.
Feel of dreed
My legs and arms can feel numb almost shacking like adrenaline pumping.
Mainly feels like I have just had a near miss whilst driving.
Told the doctor today that I worry it's more than just anxiety so she said she will do a set of blood tests as a precaucanry measure.
PANICK PANICK PANICK
Has anyone else been sent for blood tests in similar circumstances ?
I suffered a bout of anxiety in 2014 and took seven weeks to feel any better. The doc said its early days for the sertaline to be kicking in so guess with the increase I will have to wait.
But just panicked by the thought of blood tests and does she think it could be something more.
