I know its my anxiety that is causing all my symptoms, but when will it all end.
Been seeing a CBT Councellor for a good year now, and although i seem to have controlled my panic attacks theyhave been cut down nearly 70-80%, i just feel tense now with health anxiety! Always something in my head telling me "what if its" eg cancer. stroke etc.
Been like this for 9 years now...when will these sensations go!!
How long can someone be on citalopram? I've been on and off these for nearly 9 years now, and my body is still not use to them.
Since being on this medication.. my pupils seem to been dilated fully open making me look like a freak! I'm on and off have sexual problems, i'm tired all the time, i seem to feel no joy or excitement in my life. I rarely smile.
My muscles still all tense up, i get muscle twitches virtually everywhere in legs, back and arms. I still experience chest discomfort, still get fast heart beat even whilst lying down doing nothing!! My head seems always dizzy,legs turn to jelly, my jaw aches due to tension. The more i think about these things the worse i feel, the only thing stopping me having a major panic attack is that im now learning to deal with them and not catastrophise the situation. ( easier said than done )
My cbt councellor and GP are sure this is all anxiety...but i just dont know anymore, im starting to doubt even my own mind which just makes my head confused all the time!
