thats me too! Totally, i need help!!!
I have suffered from anxiety for about 14 years, was on pretty much every antidepressant out there the only med that helped was klonopin, but I didn't like taking it every day. I just want everyone to understand that how bad the anxiety was, I couldn't get out of the house, I developed essential tremor, I was afraid of everybody, 0 joy in my life and I couldn't get help anywhere. Then I went to see a doctor to get a second opinion about my diabetes diagnosis, he did some tests, gave me 2 injections of vitamin D and magnesium and sent me on my way. In a few days I couldn't believe how normal and calm and happy I felt, even my husband said " why are you so happy?! , so I thought it must be the vitamin D , because I have heard it helps with depression. At that time we were trying to have a child, 1st IVF failed and even that couldn't spoil my mood. The 2nd IVF worked and I went through pregnancy happy and gay ( I was taking vitamins for pregnancy, I'm sure it had magnesium in it). After birth for a few years of stress, not taking care of myself, but interestingly taking vitamin D, I was again anxious, depressed sometime feeling out of my mind. Then I saw a video on healthtube, I believe the name is, about importance of magnesium and it dawned on me, that doctor gave me magnesium shot. I started taking it 400mg twice a day on 4th day I remember sitting in my chair and thinking " why am I so normal " no irrational fear, no racing thoughts, no getting upset over every little thing, everything made sense!!! MAGNESIUM!!! I know what you are thinking, me too, if I went to a doctor with anxiety and he told me to take magnesium I would have strangled him, but please give it a try and do some research. I have never posted on any sites before, but I remember how helpless you feel and no answers. I really hope that it will help someone.
