It will always come back around until you decide to treat it. All it takes is some stress to trigger it...

Yup, that’s normal for a person with OCD. My buddy has harm OCD, and when she gets stressed out, she starts worrying about if she hurt someone in some way and she forgot about it.
I have GAD and PTSD. When I get stressed, I start worrying about everything, like work stuff, house stuff, did I send en email, etc. sometimes the PTSD takes over a bit and I worry about safety of my family.
This is how anxious brains work.
But the meds I’m on prevent me from getting lost up in the spiral. And the host of other techniques I learned in therapy help a lot as well.

It is so nice to hear others explain their thought processes and to know immnot alone.
Back here guys.
So, rewinding a bit into the past. This summer , 7 months ago I started to develop twitching. Simmertically and permanently calves are the ones where is persisting and I also have mild cramps.
Sometime twiches were hard and sometimes I barely feel them.
They happen in the other parts of the body as well, but not frequent, they come and go.
Did spine MRI and found a L5 S1 mild radiculopaty and the nerve conduction study + EMG found absolutely no spontaneuos activity in the muscles, nor the medical exam found absolutely no evidence of ALS/MND.
7 months and I haven't developed something sinister ( Weakness or atrophy ) and I am planning to do another EMG to follow up.
I was in a worst depression and anxiety period till my PCP and me agreed that I should start and take PAXIL 20mg / day which in 2 weeks ( combined with xanax ) It really really helped.
Neurologist told me that Zoloft MG / day might work.
At this point each time I get a twitch my **S Fears comes back, seems that PAXIL doesn't really work or my body started to tolerate it.
Dunno what to do because I'm not happy about it. Should I start on Zoloft or I should ask my PCP If I should increase the PAXIL Dose?
What are your experiences so far? I never went off paxil till now, had some days when I forgot to take it but now I'm in a limbo I guess.
I can tell you that Zoloft really helped me in conjunction with one on one therapy when I was dealing with some depression after my first heart attack. It helped my mind quiet down and enabled me to focus on the techniques that help me pull out of the funk I was in.
Talk to your doctor. It's certainly worth a try IMO.
