I am getting really anxious.
I have been suffering from anxiety for about 10 weeks. But I have lost so much weight and have had no appetite for most of that time. I had a about a week where i felt okay and appetite came back.
Doc did FBC tests when i first began to feel anxious and they were all okay.
Of course I have just done the stupidest of things and googled depression + weight loss + no appetite and one of the things it brought up as the C word.
I really need to know if anyone else has lost a lot of weight ( I was overweight -13 stone) but think i have lost more that 1 1\2 stone in about 10 weeks. I have been doing more exercise as well.
Was taking Citalopram for 6 weeks, but no difference and now on Venlafaxine for 3 weeks. Thought I was feeling better last week - was feeling more positive but so worried about the weight loss. My heart always seems to be beating fast and have no energy.
I will have to go back to Docs next week(again). He just says that he has done blood tests and there was nothing there to alert him to any problems. But can you tell everything by a blood test? Am so scared he has missed something and just putting it down to anxiety!
