Hi Renee, has your doctor given you anything to help with your anxiety,if not go back? and ask for something until you find a med that suits you, ,At least if you have something to keep you calm,you won't be battling with both anxiety and depression, I know exactly how you feel and it's the pits,it takes such a long time for the meds to kick in and then when one doesn't work you have to start all over again, you will find the right medication, and you will get better, just keep posting on here in the meantime if you need reassurance,we all have felt the same and try to help each other through the bad times, so don't give up and keep on fighting,you are a lot stronger than you think,xx

Hi Renee, Sometimes I think that the old anti depressants are just as effective as the new ones, when I first started with depression and anxiety I was put a drug called prothiadon,I was on that for nearly 6 months before I got it changed to another drug called clomipramine, I was on clomipramine for 32 years and I have to say that this drug saved my sanity, I went from not being able to function, I couldn't look after my 2 children, my mother took care of them, I couldn't cook any kind of food, because the smell made me sick, I'd wake up a3 and 4 oclock in the morning and just sit and cry until everybody got up,the thought of getting through another day just overwhelmed me, and one morning at 6 o'clock I was that desperate I sat in the doctor's car park waiting for him and begged him to help me, ithought I was losing my mind because I didn't know why I felt like I did it was the absolute depths of despair, I guess what I'm trying to say is that there will be something that will suit you because I did get better and in all the 32 years I was on clomipramine I only had one or two blips but I always got back on track, unfortunately I started to get high blood pressure so had to change meds after all those years and had a major relapse , I tried Prozac and sertraline and none of them worked so now I be got my fingers crossed with venlafaxine ,try to relax on the bed and imagine yourself somewhere you feel calm,I used to imagine lying on a sandy beach with the sun burning my skin I and the sound of the waves in the sea, it does help you to relax even if it's only for five minutes it will take your mind off things, I'm sorry for parroting on but I just wanted to write something that may be of help to you , don't give up and keep knocking on that doctor's door till you get what you need x

Renee.....when I was in my20s I had the same symptoms....plus more.
thought I had a terrible disease. My dad took me to a neurologist and all my tests came out normal. The vibrating feeling went throughout my body.
All my symptoms were related to stress and anxiety.
I can tell you from experience that the worst thing to do is react with Anxiety when you get symptoms. Thatcreates more anxiety and more symptoms.
I got a lot of help from the audio meditations found on YouTube. I put in my earbuds, lie down and listen. They teach us how to separate negative thinking from ourselves. I like one called clearing subconscious negativity and another called the positive healing bubble sleep hypnosis guided meditation. You don't really get hypnotized it's just a very calming meditation. I listen to these type of meditations a couple times a day and my symptoms go away. They have these audios on anxiety, depression, getting a good nights sleep etc. pick the ones you like and listen frequently.
if you want to LEARN how to react to symptoms, go to YouTube and search for anxiety attacks cure – self help anxiety treatment.
if you're able to, pick up a book called mindfulness meditation. It's an excellent read it has really helped me a lot.
millions of people have the same symptoms as we do in our suffering from anxiety. You are definitely not alone! You will be fine once you get this under control. I highly suggest speaking with a counselor . They see this every day and have the tools to help you. I keep going even when I start to feel better. Anxiety can be hard to deal with alone.
And don't forget to get exercise, eat healthy, socialize and stay active!
Be a fighter for yourself and don't let this defeat you. When you feel fear, dig in with both feet and keep going! Start with the meditations I think they could really help you

Hi, I was on Prothiaden for 14 years without a break. It was brilliant.
I did know I was depressed but was anxious all the time and panic attacks, plus I lost all sense of humour. Did not want to cook or clean or go out.
My doc told me to trust her with this med and explained my dizziness which was as soon as I got up until bedtime was because my chemical level in my brain had dropped and this med would push it back up. Nothing happened for just over 2 weeks and then suddenly one morning I felt hungry for some breakfast. After breakfast my hubs said something and I burst out laughing - and he commented - I had not laughed for a loooong time. A side effect was said to be weight gain but my doc said the tabs in themselves don't give weight gain - you will gain some back because your appetite would improve as you begin to feel better; she told me to just be careful and not eat platefuls. I came of them slowly with no withrawals at all. I would not hesitate in having them again.

For some reason, learning which chemicals cause each of the wierd physical anxiety symptoms was helpful for me. I could then try to visualize turning them each off, like tightening the heads on various faucets and watching the flow get smaller and finally stop. Something in that process reminds me that there is a physical cause for the way I was feeling and gave me something active to focus on that wouldn't actually make symptoms worse. That said, medication has been the key for me but there are times when nothing seems to work. At those times, I just have to trust that it will get better eventually and it always does. (BTW, I'm 60 years old and have been managing (or not managing) anxiety symptoms for most of my life. Looking back, the times when symptoms were out of control were short periods but it sure didn't feel like it at the time. Have faith that it will get better and it will.
