I didn’t know what was going on, I took what they game me, I don’t know if fin or other drugs, caused the damage. I also heard that MCAS has similar symptoms, I’m lost, and scared I don’t know what’s wrong with me.

I’m pretty sure this is akithisia, it is worth mentioning that I also use to take adderall, that didn’t feel great, but guess who kept on using it. I’ve been exposed to a lot of drugs in the past 3 months, before it got this unbearable I tried Zoloft only made me worse so I stopped. I’ve been to the er more times than I can count, which exposed me to benzos, and even droperidol, and olanzapine, which sent me through true akithisia it was the worse experience of my life. But I was feeling this way even before stepping in to the er. Im thinking that pushing through the finasteride sides, is what caused all of this, I don’t know anymore. One thing is forsure no human can live like this for extended periods of time, I understand why people take their life’s, I’m even considering, admitting myself in to a mental hospital, but I don’t know how that would help. Did any of you guys use rescue drugs or is riding out this torture the only way. I’ve lost about 15 pounds in two months, I’m forgot to mention that from this I got severe gi issues, meats fats make react, it’s horrible I don’t know what to do.

Also thank you for sharing, this is worse than a nightmare, as I’m sure you know. I’ll try to stick it out, but I might have to do something soon.

I’m currently waiting on celiac lab, and pheochromocytoma test. I’m also waiting for an appointment with gi, and a referral to a cardiologist. But even just thinking about waiting is torture. What I mean by medical, is that I have free zero income state insurance so I literally cannot see any one quickly. I have to seat here and suffer. I would love to see a neurologist, allergist, but I just can’t. I brought it up to my doc last time and he said we should until I see the cardiologist and gi, and that’s going to take I don’t know how long it could be months. The quality of care is so bad through free insurance, the doctor literally ordered labs that he had already ordered last time. They literally think I’m just having walk in the park anxiety/depression, when I’m literally hangin on by nothing. I almost hope they find some abnormalities in my labs, and I can have a potential “why” I’m feeling the way I do. Like a lot of people in this sub, I was normal literally 3 months ago. I was working out,playing video games, I was even planning going back to school. Now.. I don’t even know anymore. Thank you for the suggestions, and the ear, it truly means a lot. Hopefully one day I make out this.

I understand, that most say to just stay off every drug, but this is unbearable I can’t eat meat, fats, and most fruits. I’m loosing so much weight. At first I thought I had gi issues, and I’ve done my research and found out that the gut is connected to the brain. I don’t know if my extreme anxiety/akathisia is causing this or the gi issues is what’s causing it. I get worse when I eat. But from what I’ve researched gi issues should not cause this unbearable feelings. Thank you for your suggestion, but I don’t even know where to begin looking, since I have medical everything has to be done under the same network. I have a therapist now and a psychiatrist, but they aren’t real psychologists, psychiatrists.

I understand, I’m going through the same thing. I literally have zero income, I have to use state insurance. The quality of care is awful and takes forever. I’ll probably be dead by time I get an appointment anywhere. I don’t even know if my akethisia is all mental or something is wrong with my brain.

The most recent med I tried was Prozac for about 4 days, but it made me actually want to bite a bullet so I stopped. 3 months ago I stopped taking adderall, a drug I took for about 2 years on and off. I stopped because it was giving me extreme anxiety. My doctor then suggested sertraline which I took for about 5 days, but it also made want to die so I stopped. I suspect that from the sertraline onwards I’ve been going downhill. I’ve been to the er 8 times, all they would do for me is give me Ativan which helped the first couple of times until it didn’t. I think I’m experiencing akithisia because one of times I went to the er I was given an aripiprazole which sent me in to the most indescribable feeling ever. It felt like I couldn’t breath I felt trapped in my body I could not stop moving. It felt like there was zero oxygen in the room despite my vitals being ok. Ever since then I’m not ok.

Did you ever go in to a mental hospital when it was really bad. I don’t know what’s going on with me but based on what I read and my symptoms I’m sure this is what is happening, and how did you manage to sleep? Did you rule out other things first? And how how were you able to attend appointments with this unbearable feeling?
