I get reallly light headed. And feel like I’m gonna passout. I get reallly bad chest pains and feel like I cannt breath     Sometimes I feel like I’m gonna passout. Has anyone else ever had that feeling at all My doctor gave me some antdepreasion medican called Lexapro. But it seems like it had mad my systems worse.  So I only took it one day and stopped it. I’ve been off  my antideression medican for 5 days now. And the Er a couple days ago gave me a antianxiety medican.  Called hydroxyzine 25mg Whitch doesn’t help at all I took it twice. All it did was make me sleepy  what is a  good anxiety   Medican  cause I tried coping skills but it does not help at all. I feel like I’m getting torched.

    Sorry you are having a rough time right now. I have been dealing with this for 20+ years. I was on Lexapro in combination with klonopin and elavil and xanax for emergency. I would recommend seeing a psychiatrist or a doctor that is familiar with anxiety. Everyone is different so what worked for me might not work for you. I suggest you do not stop taking any medication without talking to your doctor about it first. Honestly the Lexapro probably wasn't in your system long enough to make you feel better or worse, probably just your anxiety over starting a new medication, especially if you read the list of possible side effects. I stopped doing that completely because it gives me a panic attack in itself. So now as long as I don't develop any sort of horrible allergic reaction symptoms I try to give the medication at least a week to get into my system and then I talk to my doctor about any concerns with how it is or isn't helping me. I guarantee I have had more tests than you, seen more doctors than you, and been told it is just anxiety more times than you so I definitely have an understanding of where you are coming from. I am currently not on any of my medication due to loss of insurance and not being able to afford it on my own so I am back in my own ugly cycle of anxiety and panic attacks. I've been to the emergency room a few times since this year started, all to be told I'm fine, but I don't feel fine. I feel like I'm dying and it sucks but I've also seen the light at the end of the tunnel and know that there is help and hope. So just hang in there and talk to your doctor about all your treatment options. Also you can try things on your own like yoga, aromatherapy, breathing exercises, anything that might help and won't hurt. Good Luck!!!

    Having panic attacks lately especially at night. It keeps me up the whole night which makes me less productive on the day. I didnt see any doctors yet. I 1st experience anxiety just recently. Late january this year and ive recovered after a week or 2 then started to get anxious again if im triggered.

    I think what i experience is a lot harder because of constant fear. Try to read also my discussion. Hope i could relate to someone having the same kind of experience.

    Praying for our healing 😇 God Bless us all

    Your not on your own. Some medication makes me feel worse before it does good. .I haven’t heard of the medications your have been given.  After my really bad anxiety attack the other night I was yesterday put back on sertraline as an anti depressant and given  zopiclone to take at night to sleep and diazepam for during the day. Both only temp till I calamities down and catch up on my sleep..But all your symptoms I have had. So your not on your own x

      I know it’s horrible...It’s the worst..I feel for you... as I said the other night I was convinced I a was dieing.. And it started with me going bed and suddenly waking up an hour later with it. Head felt funny, weak, sweating, dry mouth , chest pains . So I am sure you are suffering from anxiety. Even when waking. Do you take any medicationn? X
