Hi!
I was diagnosed in 2005 with anxiety. My initial symptom was feeling as if I couldn't swallow. For a long while I thought I would die. I finally found a Dr. who diagnosed me with anxiety. I started on Zoloft 50 mg and eventually got better. In 2008 I came off of the Zoloft and was fine. After I had my daughter in 2009 I started back on the Zoloft.
This past summer I started allergy shots and they put my anxiety attacks into overload. I stopped the shots but the anxiety has continued to get worse. I have raised my Zoloft to 75 mg and am taking Valium as needed (which currently is all time.)
I am miserable. My left arm and leg feels weak which of course brings on an attack. This morning I woke up and I could not walk on my leg. I am assuming it went to sleep because after a few minutes it was fine, but it made my anxiety terrible today. My leg has felt "weird" all day. I have an appointment with my dr. this week because I'm not sure if this is just anxiety or if something is really wrong with me. I am so scared and can not relax. I feel like something bad (stroke, cancer, etc) is fixing to happen any minute. I am so tired of this.
Thanks
