sorry for double post, posted under drugs mirtazapine
Hi all, male 40, new to forum,
got a major problem, cant sleep at night worried sick something seriously wrong with me, body wants to rest but mind wont switch off, thought i could handle it so been self medicating, Booze to start with, worked for a while, then used valarium sleep tablets, sort of worked, then sominex promethazine hydrochloride, nocked me out for about 4 hours or so, then as i was using it nightly hardly works at all now, Then been trying kava kava which is ok in the day for a mind number but does nothing for me 2 sleep,
This all started back in march were i had a major health scare found a lump on my testicle, 2 weeks of convincing myself i was going to die i eventually saw a doctor who reassured me prob a hydrocele, nothing to worry about then went for a ultrasound fortunately confirmed, i was so relieved i cried, but something still wasnt right almost like not a good enough explanation even tho was ok, then my left a right side of my neck felt really swollen, and im convinced my right side of my throats numb, i smoke I did drink, so right now thats my worry, seen 6 doctors & 2 ent drs all saying same thing nothing wrong ?? can my mind really be convincing me of this ?? i would say more dry throat, less saliva, more swallowing, more phleghm 1st thing, and as i said just a general feeling of numbness worried every time i eat as really concious i may have a obstruction, is this my mind focusing on something from anxiety like something new to focus on ? this has been going on for 8 weeks or so, theres no lumps or bumps, glands are fine, also seem to have more wind after eating, doctor said may be more acid produced giving me these symptons, so gave me a omeprazole, just started it, he thinks 80% anxiety, its genuinely real as in physical these symptoms, & i am at dispair now, havent slept right for 6-8 weeks, all the doctors say im ok, but somethings telling me not, i feel week & tired as i got to have some rest to try & feel better, & have been given mirtazapine but im scared to try as dont know how they will work read some scary stuff re: more anxiety etc, im at my witts end & have the horrors of lying awake again tonight for another 7 hours, someone if you have any ideas id appreciate comments sorry for long post ,
