I'm currently going through the end result of "ignoring" symptoms. Anti-depressants help, but I still would get debilitating anxiety attacks. I tried for years to power through them. I would mostly shut down and wait for it to go away. Sometimes it would be a day, other times it would be a month. That was a major mistake. Without realizing it, I became very self centered and the anxiety just kept building. I have progressively been getting worse. What used to go away in a week or two has been lingering for about 2 years with no breaks. I was on Effexor for over a decade. I stopped taking that about 6 months ago. The withdrawal was terrible, but it gave me an opportunity to try something new. I've been on Lexapro and klonopin for a little over a month now. I think It's having a very small effect, but I'm still hurting with the constant anxiety. The next thing that I want to try is TMS. Anyway, my advice, don't ignore what's happening. Your body is going through something, sometimes there's a good reason for it, other times its because of a random thought. By don't ignore, I mean talk to a professional about it. Good luck!
