Ok well this is my first post here so I'd like to say hi to everyone. :)
Basically about 4-5 months ago I took MDMA and as a result I had a major panic attack and went to A&E. Had bloods done everything was normal. Taking the MDMA gave me anxiety for a few months, having panic attacks most days and the panic attacks made the anxiety worse. Since then I have been to A&E many times thinking I was having a heart attack. My doctor gave me Venelafaxine anti-depressents as I was in a depressed stage due to the pains I was getting, they're also supposed to make my anxiety and depression better. I never took the tablets as I wanted to tackle the anxiety and depression on my own. I have been feeling a lot better by getting out and about. I no longer feel depressed and I'm no longer having panic attacks. I still feel I have anxiety but the only thing causing the anxiety is the random stabbing pains in the top of my head and an eletronical buzzing in my ears, which is worsend by chewing for some weird reason. Also I have had a lot of vision problems, however I'm not sure really how to explain them, the best way I can put is that when I look at something bright, like a bright light I get a kind of burn-in effect and when I look away the imprint of the light is there for a long time, I know it's normal to have it for a while but it can be there for 5-10 minuites. I've been to my doctor and he tells me it's due to the depression and anxiety. I'm finding it hard to accept this as I know personally I am feeling a lot better. I'm really concerned that this is due to a nerve problem such as MS or something wrong with my brain. Does anyone else here suffer from any of the above symptoms? And do you think alothough my anxiety is under control, these things could still happen?
P.S forgot to note, these problems haven't been there when I was having the panic attacks and really bad anxiety, which is why I am not so sure if I have a fair oppinion from my doctor.
