Dear all,
I am new to here but have been suffering from anxiety for four years.
I had all the usual symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, having the runs, feeling lightheaded and racing thoughts.
However I was over prescribed Diazepam 15mg last year, and took it for 9 months altogether including tapering. I have been off it for three months.
Since then I have not had any of my previous anxiety symptoms, but things have got alot worse. I was messaging to see whether anyone else has or had the same problems. I really feel like I don't want to be here, because it is torture.
Below is a list of the way I feel, and it's unbearable. My visual problems could still be caused from the Diazepam withdrawal or from my anxiety.
-Visual Problems
*Vision is never clear
*blurry vision
*grainy at night and on bright walls
*floaters
*blinds buzz & move a little
*light afterimage
Also
*emotionally numb
*I never know what the time is
*can't look forward to anything
*tinnitus
*things seem louder
Any replies would be greatly appreciated.
Thank-you
Paul
