Hi Decent

It's a very common symptom that many people experience.  Try deep breathing exercises to get your oxygen levels back in balance which will help eliminate this frightening but utlimately only annoying symptom.  It won't hurt you.

Hi Decent

I've only taken Xanax before when my symptoms were acute, I was offered SSRIs by my doctor but ultimately chose to research anxiety and do a combination of self-help and seeing a therapist.

I'm not totally sure of paraoxtine, when I find my medical handbook on anxiety I'll write you back. It has an excellent reference section on various types of medications used to treat anxiety/panic, depression, etc.

I think if you are scared about the medication to begin with, it might be making you ultimately more uncomfortable. Meds are unique to individuals and it often takes many attempts to get what's going to be right for you. Ultimately you need to take this into your own hands and ensure you get your course of treatment changed if it's not benefiting you.

Hope you are feeling better soon!

Hi Decent,

What you are experiencing when you lay down and close your eyes is positional vertigo. I just got over that a few weeks ago, there are a few tips and techniques if you research positional vertigo, totally harmless and will go away on itself. The floaty feeling you describe is probably from your meds, give it a few more weeks for your body to adjust. If you still feel uncomfortable, call your Dr back. But like I said the Positional Vertigo is harmless, just a real pain.

Thanks joshua , please do let me know once you find it and thanks shadieeie.

Well what i think that my medicine is not working on me but may be i am wrong as its too early ... I guess have to wait 4 week min for the medicine to work .... Correct me if i am wrong

Secondly, there is an impact of my sinus as the ct showed 3 sinuses which are inflamed and deviated spetum so that can cause pressure on head and jaws as well as nasuea ,,,, please opine
