Sorry, I'm not sure Peter. What has your doctor put you on? Normally there is a leaflet inside the box the meds come in which gives a full list of side effects. Have a look there.

My dogs get walked in a beautiful area at the back of my village. There is a huge lake and although it is a bit overgrown, we go and pick the berries and just walk the pathway. It is really lovely to see it sometimes in snow, or sometimes different shades of reds, browns and yellows. Whenever I...

The worse thing you can do is to go to the Google doctor. The best thing you can do is go and see a real doctor. One who has trained for years towards his profession. If one doctor hasn't helped you then you can always get a second opinion somewhere as it is your right. Until you get to see your...

Thanks for this very helpful info, Peter. I think we get amino acids from poultry and fish maybe? I'm not sure if it would cure all anxiety though as there are different forms. I suppose it is just that different vitamins and minerals affect the body in different ways.

Meditating can really help. It can be thought of like exercises for the mind. As we have anxieties, our problem is in our mind, (not to say that it does not exist.) So if we exercise our mind's muscles then it can calm us down. The bit in the brain that works when anxiety is triggered starts...

Yes Olu, I'm sorry to say that you mention all the symptoms of anxiety. It may help if you did some meditation or breathing exercises which will calm you down. Massages also help to calm down or a bath with calming lavender bath salts also helps to relax the body muscles and the mind.

This is the devil Dr. Google getting into someones else's head again. Naughty Dr. Google!:p If you google symptoms your mind will tell itself that it has all kinds of things. Listen, we humans come with blemishes. We bump and knock ourselves and our bodies get wear and tear. Sometimes our bodies...

It sounds like it was probably okay or you would have had a bad tummy ache by now. If it didn't taste off, then try not to worry about it. You did have the right to ask your mom if it was still okay. Maybe she just flipped because she was stressed about something. Don't take it to heart. But...

Sorry for that and it can be so embarrassing can't it? I lose sentences halfway through as well and forget completely what the subject was. The doctors call it brain fog as well as when someone asks me a question, my mind just goes totally blank. God knows what some people must think of me. I...

With me, I feel like I should pacify everybody and keep the peace so I smile a lot. I'm very diplomatic but it means that I don't always speak up for myself. It goes right the way down the line. I smile at people to let them think everything is okay. Part of me does it to let them know that...

Natural supplements like B Vitamins would help you to relax as well as Chamomile tea or Green tea.

You are very welcome to this forum Peter. We are all a friendly bunch here. I get PTSD so I get random thoughts coming into my head and images that send my body into a frenzy. It is like I don't have control of my thoughts or bodily functions any more. As soon as I get an image now, I have...

The salad I normally eat would be just a mix of lettuce leaves with a bit of tomato. But of course, I eat it with pizza! lol I have a problem sometimes eating the right foods. For example, I buy fruit and end up throwing it away. So, what I decided to do was make the fruit into smoothies. I...

Hi Jackie. Yes, this really does sound like anxiety to me. Sometimes I am tired with it and other times I seem to have more energy. Good luck with the therapist, please do let us know how you get on.

It is nice that your husband has tried to make it easier for you but a shame that you cannot take any meds to help. A travel pill would make you quiet and probably sleep. I hope you do manage to sleep through it.

Deep breathing and meditation does help. However, it may be better if you went back on some kind of medication to help you through. You can talk about that when you have your yearly medical. It is good as well that you will be seeing a therapist again. Six weeks is not long for you to have not...

You seem to have a basic fear of death and losing someone close to you. Although you may not realise it, it could well be because of the loss of your Grandpa and, or your pets. Things go into our subconscious then come out years later by PTSD or anxiety. Maybe you need to accept that death...

I would suggest going to your doctor and asking him to recommend a travel pill which may help you to relax while you are actually travelling. You could also consider therapy to get over the accident.

Hiya Reezy and a very warm welcome to our friendly community. You have found the right place to come for friendly support and understanding. I'm sorry that you have suffered from this for such a long time. There are some coping techniques on here in the forums and the YouTube thread. We often...

Have you thought that you may have vertigo? That makes you feel dizzy. Apart from that, it does sound like you are suffering from anxiety. Keep up with the meds the doctor has given you. After a while, they should kick in and begin to work better.
