Four months ago I have a really bad panic attack, I had two in week, I went to the doctors and was prescribed Escitalopram. I was having really bad anxiety after the panic attacks and noticed muscle twitching in my legs, I done what most of us would of done and googled it and came across ALS/MND, since then my life changed. The twitching was getting worse all over my body and then my tongue. I booked and appointment with a Neurologist who performed a clinical and recommended a EMG test, I week later had the EMGand NCS test, saw the neurologist a week later and said my tests where all good and blood CK levels where all good. I felt good for a couple of days until my legs started to feel weak and really hurt, the pain was really getting me down and stayed at home for a few months, calling in sick at work. I saw another neurologist as said IÂ’m still concerned and he preformed a clinical and said everything looks fine, it could be the Escitalpram IÂ’m on and to tapper off, I tapered off the antidepressants and still twitching everywhere, still fill weak legs and leg pan and now my wrist hurts.

I debating wether to see a third Neurologist or accept this could all be part of anxiety, I worry my EMG was done to early but I hear it canÂ’t be done to early and pain points away from ALS.

IÂ’m living in fear the minute I wake up to the minute I sleep, this is four months in and I canÂ’t cope anymore.

IÂ’m having CBT therapy but not really helping and now off antidepressant and now on Pregabalin.

Has anyone been through what IÂ’m going through and what helps?
