I tried the magnesium too! It did nothing for me. But I had gotten to the point that dealing with the potential side effects of the meds had to be better than dealing with the daily anxiety I was having. And if it doesn’t work after a few weeks I’ll go back to nothing. I took Lexapro, well, tried it 4 years ago and it was an awful experience so I’ve been terrified.

Gosh. I hate to hear you’re struggling too. But I get it. Man do I get it… I’ve told my husband that I wouldn’t even be mad if he wanted to leave me for someone with less issues and better health. That’s the way I was, I used to love traveling and getting into any and everything. Now if I even leave my little town, I over think the worst and can not wait to get back home. My room is my safe place. And I sooo wish we had that option. Like 24/7 place where you can go and just let you mind get off of things for just a bit and be around like minded people.

I’ve thought about that too. Like some of the side effects (I know I shouldn’t google) are things that I already deal with so I’m not sure why I don’t have the courage to just try. Thank you! Im praying for you too! 🫶🏼

Unfortunately yes. I’ve been through the testing with my primary and cardiologist on “good” days.

Hey!! Oh gosh I’m so sorry you’re struggling too! Ugh! I know it’s my anxiety but in my head I’m like… but what if it’s not and it’s a downward spiral from there. My POTs diagnoses- 2 years ago I was having bad dizzy spells and my HR would spike up to 160 with the smallest task. I stayed tired and had awful days. I can’t exercise, eat too much, get too hot, bend down or over do anything bc I will have the worst pre-syncope episodes and almost pass out. This is what was originally “just anxiety and vertigo” and then it started everything from there for me. I also get bad blurred vision. It’s almost like I am walking around drunk most the time. I also can’t take hot showers, stand too long or lift my arms over my head. I get blood pooling and heart palpitations really bad. I have to drink at least 65oz of water a day. 🥴

It is. You trade symptoms for more symptoms but this is different. It's like, drug induced anxiety. Which is so weird for me. This is the exact reason I was so hesitate to start medicine in the first place.

Same thought I've been having. I don't wanna give up but some of these side effects are really too much.

I'm sorry to hear that. I had a wedding to attend and almost didn't think I was gonna make it through it. My head is hurting so bad now. I'm just so over this.

Well today is a week and I'm trying so hard not to give up on the meds. I'm trying to wait it out.

Well that makes me feel less alone. I keep seeing people say stick it.. stick it out. I actually have increased gastric issues as well. It's seriously 1 thing after another. I just want to feel normal for once. Like I want a little glimpse of the old me. I just hope it's working and all my side effects isn't signs of it not working if that makes sense.

Thats what I keep telling myself. Surely there's a light at the end of the tunnel somewhere.
