Has the doctor put you on any medication? I was feeling really rough before I started taking my medication and after about 2 weeks I'm starting to feel better. I have even started cognitive behavioural therapy, where I am being taught relaxation techniques. I have dizzy spells everyday, feel like I'm in the perverbrial fog, even almost passed out while driving once as well. I was even just to the damn emergency room earlier today thinking that I have jardia (parasite in my digestive system). More than likely irritable bowel syndrome being exasperated by my anxiety. Your not alone dude, this crap really sucks....no pun inteneded. Try pulling up anxiety on you tube. I did that for a couple of nights and found some really interesting stuff there, really helped. Hang in there ;)
 
Jimmy: if you think you have a serious problem, talk to the doctor again. Do some blood tests and whatever you think it's necessary.

My case:
when I finally went to see a shrink he told me I should take Prozac - first he gave me Lorazepam and I felt totally depressed. I asked for a week to think about the idea. Prior to that visit my panic attacks had led me to ERs several times and I couldn't take it any more. Life was hell. I had chronicle anxiety.

I didn't take Prozac, though. I told the doctor I wanted to change my life and decided to try other things. I started to exercise in a regular basis, went to yoga classes, practiced relaxation exercises daily, meditation, and tried to be less stressed out about things. Anxiety takes time to heal, but these things have been incredibly helpful.

It's a lifelong commitment, though. The problem with anxiety is that as soon as we feel better we forget about it and go back to the old habits that ultimately led us to the nightmare. Change some of your habits, eat a healthy and balance diet, find a good yoga teacher and do relaxation exercises. Cognitive behavioural therapy can be pretty good. It's a way of learning how to understand and change yourself.
 
I honestly just do not want to rely on medication to make me feel better .. im going to have to though if this does not get any better its through out all day i am just confused and depressed and weird physical symptoms happen to me i just want to lay in bed and sleep all day .. i just want to make sure its just my anxiety .. i hate seeing all my frienRAB go out and have fun while i have to sit home because im afraid something will happen it really sucks .. it makes me feel a little relivied that im not the only one going through this .. im going to go to the doctor again and get some blood tests done and another MRI just to make sure its nothing serious .. i would think if its something serious i would be very ill right now since its been happening for almost 4 yearss .. thanks for your advice its just when new symptoms come i get more scared becuase there new and ive never felt this way before its scary ...
 
You don't have to take medications the rest of your life, but you may need them for a little while. Sometimes meRAB can help get you out of your "rut", and once you get back to living a normal life you can taper off of them.
 
Jimmy,

I'm sorry to hear you're feeling so anxious. My youngest son, who is now 22, used to experience high anxiety. He fairs better now, but it was difficult for him in his teenage years. What helped him was therapy in corabination to medication. Medication alone isn't going to help. You really need guidance to work through your anxieties. My son still sees a therapist once every 3 months to get that "check-up". He does much better and has learned how to cope with difficulties that may arise. I'm not saying that ALL your symptoms are anxiety driven, but many may be. For my son, they were. The anxieties caused other problems; nausea, diarrhea, headaches, sore muscles...But, you have to be your own advocate with health issues. Please ask your parents to get you into a therapist. It really did help my son! Good luck!
