Hi everyone! I've been having a pretty bad time lately and I desperately need help. I suffer from almost constant diziness, extreme tiredeness, feeling faint, bloating, stomach pain and headaches. I am anxious about all this and depressed. I have been suffering from anxiety for 8years now but the last month has been hell. I started psychotherapy -CBT- and went to a psychiatrist who diagnosed me with anxiety disorder and moderate depression as a result of that. She prescribed cipralex. I am terrified of taking it because of the side effects and the fact that i really dont wanna go down that road. I searched 5htp and it seems to work in some people. Any advice on what i should do?? Anyone who tried it?

Side effects are usually temporary. I would stick with the cbt and if that doesn't work then medication may be a good option. It is not as scary as it seems side effects are usually temporary.

It’s comforting to know that you aren’t the only one sometimes so thought I would comment

I have done blood test. Low iron but fixed that and diziness is still there. Went to 2 ents. One said i have bppv, other said i need rest. Went to a psychiatrist and a neurologist. Both say its anxiety. I really feel like i will faint. I am dizzy and tired. This thing has taken over my life... what did you do about it michael? It is comforting indeed to know that you are not alone. Although i wouldnt wish it on my worst enemy. It's horrible and I want my self and my life back...
