Hey all,
Have been feeling pretty good lately, but about two weeks ago, started to have nausea, loss of appetite, and tight back, neck and shoulder muscles. Enough to feel like it was going to shoot my head off my shoulders. I have been doing regular stuff, trying to keep busy (or at least my mind busy), taking herbal supplements (passion flower, GABA), and it seemed to be keeping things in check. I would go for walks and feel good. I would read to keep my mind occupied. Any time I would realize that the symptoms were there, I'd feel worse and get more anxious and symptoms would intensify.
Then on this past Sunday, I deliberated, after years of saying I wouldn't, but I had the prescription filled I was given by a doctor for Zoloft; I had this prescription for MONTHS. So I took them with me to my next appointment with the doctor and questioned him that this was the right (or at least suitable) way to go. I just came to the realization that maybe I should try something that's intended for helping, being that I was always under the belief that prescriptions are written to people too quickly. And I had some bad experiences the first time I took an anti-depressant. I also called for some therapy appointments. I've been to numerous chiropractor appointments, thinking maybe something is just pinching a nerve. Yesterday, I also had a massage, and it seemed to help and then the tight neck started about an hour after.
I fell asleep and woke up a few hours later with again, the nausea. I panicked, and gave myself a panic attack. I was bombarded by all sorts of heath issues. I actually almost convinced myself that I was having a heart attack. Mainly, because I've heard people think it was just indigestion for days, and then angina, or heart attack. And my left arm felt weird. So I took a half Ativan. I felt better. I KNEW at the time it was a panic attack, but had no idea how to control it. Then when I woke for work, the nausea was there again. Has been all morning so far. Nausea comes, I don't want to eat, and it continues the cycle.
I don't know. I'm struggling with the fight against this. It seems to come grab me and won't let go.
I thought I was doing better, I even had 2 days this week before yesterday that were so much better.
Just thought I'd share.
