So this is my luck, had the CT scan on Thursday and waited till 3pm to call my doctors office so he didn't think I was too crazy. The office tells me he doesn't work on Friday's. Great, another weekend feeling awful and worried about the aneurysm they think I might have. I did however go to the doctors today and got prescribed some Cymbalta and Ativan to help with the anxiety.

Waiting is the worst! It's Sunday and you've almost made it through the weekend. Keep yourself busy today and before you know it you'll be calling the Dr. first thing in the morning. Thinking of you, let us know how things turn out!

Hi Everyone, I did get my results today and I am happy to report a normal CTA Scan. It doesn't answer why I feel this way still but I am so relieved it is good news.
I started Cymbalta yesterday, however it didn't go so well. Dizzy, sick to my stomach, bad headache and felt really out of it. Call Dr today and she said to stop it and I have another appointment next Saturday. I have a hard time with meds and I need a very small dose of something to help w the anxiety.
Thank you so much for all your thoughts and prayers:)

Nik,

I was on cymbalta for a year and I did well with it. This time around when she put me on cymbalta, it made me not feel right at all. I was lightheaded, dizzy, and it felt like my blood pressure was falling..so I had to stop it this time around.

Hi Paddicake,

I am so nervous about taking meds that it so hard for me to figure out what is anxiety and what is a side effect. I hope I can find something that will help me. I felt so bad last night and this morning from taking just one pill. I have tried paxil before and was on it for 9 months and tried it again and it didn't go so well. Liked Lexapro but caused weight gain. Time will tell, sitting here with that strange feeling in my head but have to believe now its from the discs in my neck and nothing worst.

xanax is the only thing that does help me when I get an episode. Like I said though Cymbalta did at one point too. There are many other meds now that you can try. So just keep trying to you figure one out. I'm glad your tests came back good though, and pray you find something to help. Good luck..

Nik,

So glad to hear that your results were fine!

I do hope that you get some answers that you need to progress forward in your treatment plan at your next appointment!

Best wishes and keep up posted.

I'm glad to hear your test results were good! I hope that you will be able to start feeling better soon. I had a lot of the same feelings that you are having. I had extreme brain fog, felt so out of it, it was scary. I was prescribed antidepressants and klonapin (?) for panic attacks, but I never took them. I'm like you, the thought of taking it made me so nervous. I already felt weird, I was afraid it would make me feel worse. The thing that finally helped me was magnesium of all things. Stopped my heart palps (I don't know if you get these) and cleared my head.
