Annoying symptoms of anxiety

[Gale]

Hello there new to this site. I have had anxiety for over 30 yrs. Been on several meds that really did nothing. Now I take Zoloft and ativan. I do have some relief for a few months and then it all comes back. My symptoms are: fatigue, headaches, neck pain, shaking inside, swaying like I am on a boat and just ache. All tests are neg. For years thought I had a brain tumor or MS. Doctors say its all anxiety. My question is why then do the symptoms not go away if I take meds which I hate taking. Feeling like doctors have diagnosed me wrong. Please anyone on here going through this. All I want is to feel normal again.

Hello Gale, nice to meet you and a very warm welcome to our little community. It does sound like you have anxiety so I hope you don't worry too much about your health. If you are wondering if your doctor has got it wrong, you could always get a second opinion from a different doctor. I suffer from anxiety and get headaches and dizziness as well as the other symptoms. If the docs have checked and say they can't find anything then hopefully they are right.
