I have been having horrible panic feelings, anxiety, distracted bad, can't sleep at night, night sweating, etc. Is this Fibromyalgia or what? Any help is greatly appericated. I don't understand what's wrong. I just feel so tried and no desire to do anything, can't sleep, always hungry, feeling overwhelmed feeling Neck and back pain. heart palpitations Any suggestions on medications that don't cause weight gain nor sexual side effects. Thanks, Jason Vaughn

Have you been examined by a doctor? You didn't mention it but that is the first thing I would do. Only a medical professional can diagnose you properly. I would recommend you see your doctor if you haven't already, if anything just for peace of mind. You can also discuss anxiety treatments if your doctor believes it is anxiety related.

I know that isn't particularly helpful. Your symptoms could be anxiety related as it sounds like your having panic attacks. Check with your doctor though.

Agreed.

Talking to your doctor is the first step to take.

At this time you can discuss treatment options such medication and/or therapy. SSRI's are most commonly prescribed for A/D.

For now, try checking out our Resources as the top of the main page...there are great sefl-help coping suggestions there to help keep you calm until you can be seen.

Best wishes, and let us know how your appointment goews.:)

Jason

I have read your other posts and noticed that you said you have a very stressful, high demanding job. This could very well be the cause for your symtpoms.

Just to be safe, I'd get a quick 'check up' from a doctor. Once you have been cleared come back on here for support! Check out our resource page and look through the coping skills/ techniques.

Here's to you and good health!

God bless
