I have been feeling less anxious for about a week now but I can't seem to shake some of the physical symptoms. I still sometimes twitch when I am trying to get to sleep and I still feel "floaty" like the floor isn't where it should be. Is this normal even though I feel less anxious in my head?! And how long will it take to go away?
Since going to therapy, my daily anxiety has gone down as well, although still there. Well while in session this week, my vision got weird & I panicked! (therapist loved it *sigh*) I felt like the floor was higher, things were closing in on me, it was super weird! I don't know when it will go away
Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge Him and He will direct your paths.
Hey, thanks for the reply. Vision got wierd how? I have visual problems too. Neuro said it's occular migraine. All this anxiety seems to make it even worse! It's really difficult to belive physical symptoms are related to anxiety when i'm not even feeling too worried-but then the worry starts again! I hope therapy helps you out?
Your anxiety can (and will) trigger your headaches. I know my stress level reeks havoc on my "cluster" headaches which affect my vision as well.
I had that floaty feeling and after a medication change, it went away...
Yeah, i'm having a lot of headaches right now. I'm worrying about having headaches on top of everything else! My muscles also ache all over (esp in my neck and legs) is this normal?
God yes. Headaches (I thought mine were sinus headaches) and the aching muscles are completely normal. I actually felt like I should have bruises on parts of me my muscles hurt so bad.Originally Posted by eyeeye
Thanks njmom, it's good to know i'm not alone with the muscle aches! They come and go-sometimes an ache, sometimes a shooting pain. I hate anxiety-I used to feel so fit and healthy! I hope your aches have gone now? And that mine will soon!
Mine have gone since I started lexapro. Its actually quite amazing. I wasn't expecting it at all and its so nice to be able to do stuff-like yard work, or holding my child without my muscles burning like I was working out or something.
Like it feels "dreamy" or something. Like things are closing on me....therapist said it's vision...but feels worse when it happens..

What is lexapro? I am trying so hard to do this without meds but it's riuning my life..and my boyfriends. I have so many strange visual symptoms now. Not sure which bit is migraine and which is anxiety-floaters, blind spots (migraine I think) flashing things, seeing things that aren't there...
Thanks to you all for the replies, it helps to know i'm not alone. Sorry you're suffering too though!
