| I am 30 with 2 children and have suffered very bad anxiety for 3 years now since the birth of my 2nd child I am not on medication as I have tried and did not like the feeling I am trying to battle it out alone Lately I have been getting worse and having thraot flutters, a pain at the bottom of my sternum - I am experiencing shooting pains all over my body and a deadening feeling on my left cheek and I feel drunk when I walk I dont feel anxious all of the time but I am still having these feelings I am also having alot of mucas from my sinuses. I know this ie a long list but I really do not know where to turm I have had recent blood tests and all are normal. |

| I also have suffered with anxiety for 5 years since my first son. I get flutters in the throat, so many things have went numb in my body...hands, face, feet....I thought I was having heart attack or a stroke. I finally decided living this way and being afraid of dying wasn't worth it. Praying about it a lot and having a good relationship with God, I decided that enough was enough. I started taking 1/2 of 10 mg of Lexipro. It really helps. I tried prosac, paxil, zoloft...all made me feel wierd. I have so much anxiety...I feel like I am going to explode at times. The Lexipro worked so well....and after 6 months I have weined myself off of it and feel great. You have anxiety...that is a chemical imbalance. You need the medicine. You owe it to yourself and your kids to try it. I was scared to try med's because that is one of my panic triggers....but the alternative and living in panic isn't worth it. Let me tell you something else. We are not in control of ourselves. God is. We need to let Him work in us, and He will help if you ask. He allowed meds to be used (not abused) becuase he wants us to live life to the fullest. And, after being a Christian, if you do die, you go to Heaven, so it all works out any way. Good Luck. |
