Anxiety Symptom

[toze77]

Hello. I've been diagnosed with panic and anxiety disorder with agoraphobia, triggered by some emotionally traumatic events and the use of weed and lsd. I've been told by the psychiatrist that i only had terrible anxiety and was very afraid of it and it's symptoms and that my problem was mainly emotional. I've been off medication for 2 weeks now cause i asked him to and he agreed, saying that was all in my mind now and that i had all the capabilities to overcome this. I feel that im only really facing the problem now. Slowly i'm starting to don't fear anxiety and it's symptoms. But there's one little thing that makes me wonder, that i was hugely afraid of it in the beginning but now i'm not - my vision. It all fine with it when the day starts but by the end of the day it's all messed up (tunnel vision, kind of blured, colors very shiny, very aware of subtle light changes, reminding me of lsd) and i assume that's only a symptom. What makes me wonder is that, now i don't feel anxious at all but my vision ends up that way everyday, with dilated pupils, but they still have a good reflex to light changes. Since i don't feel anxious, is it really only a symptom of anxiety? And if it is, if i ignore it, don't fear it or think about it, will it go away in time naturally?

It was a very low dosage on an anti-psychotic - 50 mg of amissulpride. I've reduced it to 25 in one week and stopped taking it the next week. Honestly, i don't think this is a withdrawal symptom. I've had this before taking medications, a few hours after i woke up and I got very scared with it. Now im not afraid of it, only bothered by it, thinking is this is permanent or not... I think it's not, since this only happens when im more tired.

Can I ask what med your Dr had you on and did you taper off it slowly? If you were on it for awhile and quit cold turkey you could be having some withdrawal symptoms. And one of the symptoms is possible vision problems.
