Ask me anything!

Hi Daniel. Have you heard of this symptom? A symptom of mental chatter, where you feel like you want to scream, and your inner voice is very loud, also where you are very sensitive to noise? Is this part of anxiety? OCD? PMDD?

Hi Daniel, sorry to de so abrupt but I'm just wondering can anxiety cause such numbness and super-self consciousness to the point where I sometimes feel like I CANT feel tired no matter how much exercise I do, I also don't sweat nearly as much as a used to while exercising. I'm just wondering could being extremely self aware and anxiety-stricken cause this strange 'inability' to feel tired. It's like my brain has forgotten how to react to exercise. It's a strange feeling.

[QUOTE=RealisticTrain;197745]Just wanted to introduce myself here. I'm Daniel, and I'm currently near the end of my psychiatry residency at the university of toronto. As such, I have vast knowledge of all things psychiatric, be it medication, alternative treatments,..anything to do with the mind!


With my anxiety almost completely gone, I still have physical symptoms. Chest pains etc. I've had ECG's and an echocardiogram. Both were ok. So why is this still happening?

Thoughts on alternative remedies? (Yoga, herbs etc.)

Hello Realistic Train,

I have question for you: Can anxiety symptoms appear out of blue? For example, I can experience Arrhythmia (fluttering feeling) inside my chest, and not feeling anxiety or stressed, I am completely calm and focused on the job I am doing at the time?

Thank you for your help,
Kind Regards

Hi Daniel....How long do you take a medication if it's not working?
I've been taking it Trazodone for months and it hasn't worked. The dosage was increased when I told my doctor about it and my next appt to see her is in a couple weeks. I can't just stop taking it on my own.

Hi Daniel,

Are you still active in this community? I see you haven't posted in a while. My GF had some horrible side effects from taking Paroxetine HCL, and I just wanted to ask you a few questions.

Brgds,

Ken

Thanks! For you, what's the best way stop a strong panic attack?

how do you feel about GP's prescribing and diagnosing ??

I do have a question, during my episodes of higher than normal anxiety, where I am very sensitive, is it normal to not being able to cope with your worries like usual? I can't seem to take things day by day anymore and my worries give me more anxiety, and the more anxiety I have over my worries, the more depression I have. It comes in waves and I've heard of these episodes of anxiety and I've been through them before, they seem to stick around for a couple months for me before fading. Yes, I see improvement, but this is still driving me nuts... Do these "ruts" end?
