Hi, just wanted to put something out there to my fellow anxiety sufferers, I have never had anxiety but since being diagnosed with Labyrinthitis five months ago I wake every morning with a woozy head, mild heachaches as if I have a hangover my heart sometimes feels like it is racing, the doctor said that this was anxiety can you have it everyday! its driving me insane he put me on citalopram for a few weeks have been off them a month or so as diddn't think they helped I have diazapan as and when I need them but am trying not to use them, I find it hard to believe that anxiety can go on this long any views would be useful thanks!

Apparently it is possible for anxiety to last that long. I've been experiencing it constantly since may this year. I have had social anxiety in the past with totally different symptoms so I'm finding it hard to get my head around all these new symptoms. My symptoms are:
Muffled/pressure in head and ears which is sometimes accompanied with a headache
Woozy lightheadedness
Brain fog/unreal feeling
Heavy eyes/fatigue
Achy limbs
Hot flashes
Lack of concentration
Constant worrying
I've had countless blood tests which have all been negative.
I'm on meds still from the social anxiety and my doc has just increased the dose this week. I'm hoping to find some relief soon. If you didn't find that citalopram helped it may be worth trying something else, there are lots of alternatives. They'll hopefully help to relieve your symptoms.
I start counselling tomorrow which includes CBT. Have you thought about any therapy? X

Its horrible I hate being like this never had problems before this all started, got Married in June and thought that after the wedding things would get back to normal but no. I didn't like the side effects from the meds I have an appointment with ENT next week and an MRI scan to make sure nothing going on when this is all over then hopefully my anxiety will start to ease off I am having CBT therapy on the telephone at the moment next week is my next session ! what triggered yours off do you know?

My dr has referred me for a head CT scan, I have this continued worry that I've got a brain tumour or something. She's requested it purely for my peace of mind and doesn't expect to find anything from it. The thought of the CT freaks me out though!!
Is yours all stemmed from the labrynthitis? X

3 weeks isn't enough time to be on citalopram, you need to be on it for at least 8 weeks to feel the benefits. Everyone on here will tell you the same. Unless you dont' want to use medication which is another story

Ps I've been on citilapram on and off for 15 years and I'm a much nicer person when im on them, and I feel normal!! Whatever normal is! They take a while to work and if you come off them your anxiety symptoms will get worse! Take care try to relax and except that it is anxiety you've got 😊
