Hello,

I am a college student and the past 4 days my anxiety has gotten so intense that I can barely do anything. I've always had anxiety issues, but these past 4 days have been torture and there is no end in sight. It has gotten to the point where I am hardly eating anything, maybe half of a meal all day. I am light-headed, but still don't feel like I can eat much. I'm concerned about what this is doing to my body.

I am currently taking 5-htp and gaba from my doctor, but an suggestions to what I can do in the short-term, just until I get through my exams and can get myself back to the doctor? This is severly effecting my studying as I can barely concentrate.

I'm just looking for some support, any support really - I am very much alone when it comes to my battle with this.

Thank you,
Shanna
 
I just went through that a couple of weeks ago. I've been dealing with it for a few years, but have very few symptoms while taking Lexapro. Its whenever I try to go it alone that my panic attacks/anxiety come back. When I'm going through a spell, I can't eat anything. One day I ate half of a peanut butter sandwich ALL DAY. Its amazing what this condition can do to your appetite, not to mention everything else. Anyway, just remeraber you are bigger than anxiety, and WILL get through it.
