You have had anxiety before, but I think that what you're referring to now is called Generalized Anxiety Disorder. Your doctor might think that it's unlikely, but I can tell you that anxiety takes a lot of different forms and that the symptoms could be indicative of a problem like GAD. You might want to ask your doctor about seeing a social worker or a psychiatrist.

Sounds like GAD to me as well. Look into joining a CBT group if you can that's what helped me.

Yes it could be anxiety related.
Have you tried seeing a homeopath?
I have anxiety attacks and I cured it with homeopathy. I could not even leave my house! That's how bad I was. Counselling did not help me, only homeopathy.
I hope you get over it soon

If homeopathy was only thing that could help you, could you give us some info on that. It is interesting that counseling didn't do you much good.
Can you give us some details about your condition and the way you got threated?
All the best, Red.

Hello Reg
my problem was that I could not get stuck anywhere, eg in traffic etc. Immediately this happens, my brain starts to play with me. "what if"s. What if I need to go to the toilet, how will I turn the car around? The strange thing is as soon as I think of this "what if", my stomach actually starts to rumble. This then induces fear, which in turn makes my stomach worse. Until I come out of this traffic jam, or leave the supermarket to go home, i keep having these anxiety attacks. It was very embarrassing for me, needless to say, as I could not go out anywhere. Sometimes, even thinking of going out, would trigger it.
That is how bad it got for me.
I did see my GP who correctly said, it was a psychological thing and that there is no need for medication. I used to take Immodium up to 3 capsules in one go!
my GP suggested counselling. Unfortunately that did not help me as her suggestion was that I go and face it , ie get stuck in traffic and if you have to go, you have to do. Sorry mate, but that kind of advice, I would not take. I know I have to push my self but not this way... no way
So after a few sessions, I gave up counselling. I looked into homeopathy, as I treat others but generally a homeopath cannot treat himself. As I was getting desperate, I decided to treat myself and found a remedy that suited me very well.
I have to say I could not believe the change in me. I can actually get in the car and get stuck in traffic and not be bothered in the least. It is a great feeling to have, believe me.
This is my story. Any questions, please feel free to email me.
Thanks

It sounds to me like homeopathy was really helpful for you. Can you tell me what your course of treatment was? I'm curious to hear because I don't know of any sort of thing like that. I would like to hear your perspective. Thanks!

Hello heathnfitnessguy
Unfortunately the way homeopathy works, my course of treatment may not answer for you. A homeopath would need to take your profile ( your case) and based on the information he/she gets off you, a homeopathic remedy can be prescribed.
Homeopaty is a holistic form of treatment where the individual is treated rather than just the symptoms. This way, you are sure to get to the root of the problem, rather than superficial treatment.
I would really recommend you talking to your local homeopath. I have found nearly all my patients were very surprised at themselves, they found out about things that they never even thought of. It is a bit like counselling with the difference that you get a remedy to help you. As for me, I just get in the car and drive now... traffic does not bother me anymore. I have to say, it is a GREAT feeling to have. To know that you can go anywhere you want, without having to wonder if you can really make it. I am so happy with my results. People who know me personally are amazed at the results.
If you are suffering from anxiety, i strongly recommend you talk to a homeopath about it. Why live a life of restrictions when you can be FREE !!!
I am happy to have a chat with you, if you like.... email me at and I will give you my skype name or if you are in the UK, my uk number is on my website, you can call me for an informal chat. No strings whatsoever.
All the best

HI I'm just interested in Immodium. You say you took 3 capsules in one go. Did you had any side effects? I know some people have some side effects. Do you take Immodium still?
Loading...
Heelo dark red
I did not have any side effects.. at least I think not. But to be honest the way I was feeling, side effects was the least of my problems... I had to stop the runs no matter what.
I still take Immodium but its more like once a month or so.. one capsule.. only if I eat something hot and get an upset stomach and I need to go out. I dont get upset stomach anymore due to anxiety, which was my main problem.
Hope that helps

Hi ukhomoeopath,
Well it is good to hear that you had no problems while taking Immodium. And I do understand that this was less of your worry then your anxiety. So now when you are in the big traffic jam you have no tension at all?
I only have a little anxiety when I need to travel somewhere. Did I bring everything? Do I forget to do something at my home? But this is only for few minutes, nothing much, then I forget about it all. Just focus on the road. :-)

Hello Dark Red
I am happy to hear that you have only very minor anxiety. I am sure that will do away on its own. Do you take immodium because of your anxiety? Just asked since you wanted to know about immodium.
All the best

Well actually I don't take Immodium. I really haven't felt that I need it. I think my anxiety is just a little one so I didn't do any precautionary measures. :-)
I read somewhere about it so I wanted to see your personal experience about it. And even when you said you took 3 at once, I got more interested. I thought that this was too much. But it seams that you had no problem with it.
Best of luck.

Right, that makes perfect sense. Can you tell me what your course of treatment was anyway though? I'm not really looking to self-treat, more just kind of trying to get an idea of what you did! I know that it's sort of a holistic thing but --well, is it a personal question? I'm sorry if I'm being unnecessarily nosy!

Hi healthnfitness
I took Arg Nit 30c once a day for a month.
Like I said, just because it worked for me, does NOT mean, it will work for you.
Good Luck
