Posted , 5 users are following.
hey guys my names nathan im 24 usually a happy hyper funny person to my friends. about 3 months i went to a festival and like a complete idiot i drank someones drink which i presume had drugs in it. i had a massive anxiety attack as i didnt know what was happening but then fell asleep the day after i felt okay and proceeded to have a drink and dance with friends. anyway when i got back home i felt like a pressure feeling on my head like elastic band was round it and i joked it off with friends because i thought it was because i had had a cap on all weekend. anyway days turned into a few weeks and by then i was extreemly anxious thinking i had a brain tumor or something or that i had caused permenent damge to my brain and that i would never feel the same again. so i went to the docors and he was very understanding but said the pressure feeling and fatique was down to my anxiety he pescribed me 15mg mirtapine as i had been on it 5 years previously when i had depression. ( i had been depression and anxiety free completly for 5 years) so its now been roughly 3 months since i got back home from the festival and ive been on mirtapine for about 2 almost and at first it helped my eat as i wasnt hungry one bit and also calmed me down at night time which is when im most anxious. so for the past month ive been fine but even when im in a great mood i still have this band liek feeling around my head sometimes gets stronger and other times gets less. i was just wondering if anyone else has had this before?? past 2 days it feels like mirtazpine has completley stopped woorking so the doctor said up it to 30mg and see how i feel in a week i just cant help thinking that im going to be like this forever and that i wont feel my usual self again. any replies are appricieated and sorry for any spelling errors in advance

try not to worry. Think logically, how can a spiked drink cause you to worry about a brain tumour, or a tight band round your head. I do sympathise as I suffer from anxiety. However I was told by a counsellor many years ago to take a step back, write down what I'm worried about, then see logically that what you are worrying about can't be a result of one incident, which in your case is a spiked drink.

I can be fine with no aanxiety and still have this feeling it's so scary and it makes me think I have a brain tumour as well but Dr's after Dr's have said everything's fine it's anxiety etc I still to this day think it and I've had this feeling for many years now!
As for the drink and it having drugs in it I think that's going to play a big part in you thinking the worst anyway, as I would....what you need to remember is sometimes even when we're not anxious we still have the physical symptoms I'm sure you don't have a brain tumour or anything serious and just anxiety I also think your concentrating that much onto it your making it be there anyway as I do if it continues and you continue to worry go back to the Dr's and say you want further tests to rest your mind take care x
