All my life I've heard people talk about "anxiety." I occasionally felt "anxious", like just before a speech or when one of my kids woke me up puking in the middle of the night.Nothing I couldn't tolerate.
And of course, I've had the occasional panic attack. They aren't fun but they subside and i've learned what they are and how to go just go through them, etc..
and yes, I had that horrible akathasia crap with Lexapro/Wellbutrin/Compazine.
I'm off all those meds now for 3 weeks. I am taking .25 Klonopin in the morning and evening.
But I have this jittery feeling in the pit of my gut that does not go away. It is hard to describe. Almost like I'm tense in my gut and it's bouncing around.
IS THIS POSSIBLY JUST ANXIETY?
If it's just "anxiety" than I will try to tolerate and live with this- I will conclude that I am not insane and hopefully in time it will pass.
It is not 24/7 but like right now, I've had it in my gut for about 3 hours non stop. I pray, I read, I walk the treadmill, I try to distract my brain from thinking of it, but here I am wondering what the heck this is.
Somebody just put me into a drug induced coma until they can figure me out..
I keep thinking of how just a few months ago, I was actually "normal." Imagine??? Normal.
