Hey all intro and some advice needed

[richard-northants]

Hello everyone, my name is richard i am a 26 year old from northants.

I am looking for some help and advice and some new friends who i  can talk to about anxiety and other bits and bovs as my doctor really doesn't listen,

Ok so i have been suffering with anxiety for going on  a year or so i believe but only recently have i not been able to cope with the symptoms,

my symptoms are as follows

"flight or fight" feeling in my chest "palputation" and general uneasy nervous feeling inside,

"shakes"

"constantly worried about things"

"feeling low and getting angry easy"

I believe i can cope with alot of the mental issues to do with anxiety but it has come to the point where i cant cop with the physical feelings i am getting so the doc has put me on some propranolol.  The does he started me on was 40mg up to three times per day "unfortunately" i find that the drug has to many side effects for me although it does take away alot of the physical symptoms of anxiety it also makes me very dizzy and sleepy and it makes my breathing funny and chest tight. the pharmacist who saw me today said i shouldnt take it anymore as it clearly does not suite me and could be unsafe for me as it can effect the lungs.

Has anyone else had this problem before with anxiety and also maybe the medication as i am at my wits end with this and cant live my life like this any more,

any advice on this situation would be excellent and maybe if anyone knows any other medicatons that might help me so i can suggest to my gp,

thanks for reading guys, richard

Hi, I know what you mean.  Sometimes it feels like I could completely come out of my skin and wish I could run away from myself but of course that isn't possible.  I shake and can't eat or sleep.  My dr. has me on clonazapam and seroquel, in addition to ambien for sleep.  Normally, when my anxiety isn't at peak, these work for me but make me sleep like crazy.  Right now, anxiety is in overdrive due to financial issues and ABSOLUTE FEAR OF THE FUTURE.  so, nothing is helping....
