Anxiety about brain tumor developing

[Cmich67]

So for the past month or so I have had the though that I am developing a unknown brain tumor. I went to the doctor a few weeks ago (5th time I've been there for various anxiety reasons) and they said I was fine. After that appointment I had head pressure in the back of the head and top for around a week. I kept thinking about myself dying in the hospital from it and my family being devastated and then I finally got anxiety meds (clonesopam). I took it the first time and when I woke up I was very dizzy but calm. No headache pressures after for a week. Now they are coming back with a tingling in the hands and it seems like the pills arnt as strong. And once again I'm convinced I have a brain tumor. I'm 15 turning 16 and I'm not ready to die yet. I can't get a CT/MRI scan because my parents think it's just the anxiety so I can never be sure if I'm ok. Someone please help me. Please

Hey man.  I know how confusing it can be when your mind is telling you one thing and your doctors are telling you another.  What you have to do is learn to trust them or find a doctor you think you can trust.

I am assuming that there have been a battery of tests performed?  The results of these tests will lead to the treatment.  Have you been subjected to something traumatic?  Been in an accident?  Been jumped?  Seen someone hurt?

What dosage of clonazepam are you taking and how often?  

Like many mood meds, they start off at an initial dose level which may be increased once your doctor sees how you're reacting to them (and once your body adapts to them).  To start you off on a robust level might be too much of a shock for your body.  [[This also means when it's time to discontinue them, you will need to wean yourself off them gradually to avoid serious withdrawal symptoms.]]

What non-med approaches are you using to manage your predisposition to anxiety?
