    I'd get a blood test first to see if you are deficient in those vits, as too much is as bad as not enough. Be careful with magnesium as it can have a laxative effect! So glad the nexium is working for you though. I've struggled for years trying to find something that works without bad side effects.

    Most def speak to your doc about this , however try to avoid anxiety medications , you don't want that junk , anxiety medications are junk and all they do is mess up your brain medications such as Xanax etc , that stuff is total trash . Try to figure ways that you can relax and chill out there are many other natural ways of dealing with anxiety other then medications .

    Don't mess around with this stuff. You need an expert to check you out and do the tests to determine what exactly is wrong. Get it treated ASAP

    I most def agree with shark anxiety meds are the worst , not to mention highly addictive, meds such as Xanax and anti - depressants seriously bad , I have seen those meds do horrible things to people , anxiety meds are nothing more then $$ makers for the pharmaceutical companies, the use of them benifit you in No way and help nothing other then get you temp ( high ) maybe . That is a cure for Nothing .
