Anxiety and leg weakness

HI, Sapna123,

First, I am sorry to hear that you are struggling so badly. I know how stressful all of this can feel, especially having children.

We all know that anxiety can do some pretty amazing things to our bodies if we are stressed out enough. I have had a myriad of health issues that could never be diagnosed accurately until I decided that my anxiety was causing them, which at that point and after some diligence, went away.

I am not saying that your leg weakness is definitely caused by anxiety, but it is a possibility. I am on my 16th day of fluoxetine and I have had some pretty bizarre side effects, but not leg weakness. But, I have had leg pain since starting. I am just trying to treat it as a side effect that will eventually go away, or even just anxiety because that has been worse on this pill so far. ..

I still think it would be smart to discuss this with a doctor once they start seeing patients again after the coronavirus has settled, but for now, try looking up some meditations on youtube that allow you to just let those sensations be there without attaching any fear to it. I know it is so hard!!

I hope this helped a little. I know no one can give you the definite reassurance you are looking for on here but maybe it will help a little.

Take care!

prozac will help just try to stick it out,these physical symptoms are all a side effect of anxiety,give the med another couplenof weeks amd youll start to see an improvement.Been exactly where you are and know how youre feeling but things will get better i promise xx

yes its very hard when the physical symptoms start to interfere with daily life but i can honestly say rhat prozac was the best thing for my anxiety once it kicked in for me which was around week 3/4...everyday will get a littke easier snd one morning youre going to wake up and realise youve got energy,youre mot anxious 24/7 and all of these physocal symptoms have melted away In the meantime try journaling (writing down your feelings) to deal with anxiety. And breathibg exercises can be found on youtube for days when youre feeling overwhelmed. I wish i could fast forward the process for you because i remember exactly how it felt but please believe me when i say youre going to be fine,one day at a time x

sorry for all the typos..juggling sleep deprivation with newborn and 5 other kids..15 down to 5 "..schools out and im trying to keep up with all of their online homework xx

hello sapna123,i hope today has been a better day for you and youre feeling more positive about rcovering from these physical symptoms of anxiety.I myself found 10mg to be a low dose yes but a good starting point but 20mg for me was definatlety more theraputic and put a stop to my ocd anxiety and related physical symotoms,it does increase anxiety in the beggining but if u can stick it out at all itll be worth it all to feel at peace again in your mind and body,i wish you well and hope u are feeling lots better very soon xx

Hello

Hope you're feeling better now. I've been on FLU for 18 weeks. Now, no more serious side effect. but I I still suffer occasional dissociative feelings.Anxiety started getting slightly less around 10-11 weeks. Then mood started getting more stable slowly. I suffered shaky feelings on my kegs for a while. i tried to walk carefully. And just standing up or standing still was often hard.
