Anxiety, depersonalization, and popping and cracking joints

[soanxious89]

Hi,
I have been diagnosed with anxiety and I am currently taking 10mg Lexapro which doe not seem to be helping. I have really bad physical symptoms and I think there is something else medically wrong with me, even though the various health test that I've had all came up negative. My question is, does anyone of you suffering from anxiety feel constantly tired all of the time, feel like you are out of your body, like on drugs or living in a constant dream? I guess it's called depersonalization? But can it happen Constantly? I also have floaters, halos, white lights in my vision and doubled vision. Like, if I focus on an object, whatever other object is behind it or beside it is doubled. If you know what I mean? And when I sleep my body also vibrates. I have obsessive thoughts, I do obsessive things, I am constantly thinking, and feel like I have some kind of disease that the doctors cannot find. I cannot concentrate, I forget everything, feel foggy headed, and just feel empty. And can anxiety cause constant joint popping? I have constant grinding, popping, and cracking sounds in my joints all over my body, especially in my neck, very badly in my shoulders, my back, jaw, elbows, wrists, knees and hips. It does not usually hurt but my muscles and joints hurt and seem to be tense, weak and stiff.  Can anxiety cause all of these CONSTANT symptoms? This problem is effecting my life and my relationships and I just want to feel normal and like my old self again. I just need to know if Anxiety can cause all of these symptoms, and constantly, 24/7 I have these symptoms.THIS IS TAKING OVER MY LIFE! PLEASE HELP ME!!!

I had my thyroid checked & it was normal is it a more extensive test I can ask for???

I see this is an old thread but I ran across it while researching.  I agree that many of these issues can come from improperly treated thyroid issues.  Upon better thyroid treatment, many of these sort of symptoms lessened or went away for me.  Note that longterm thyroid dysfunction can cascade into multiple problems including malabsorption.  Malabsorption leads to vitamin and mineral deficiences that can cause some wild symptoms on their own.---  hallucinations, "vibrations", depersonalization, etc.,.  (been there, done that.)  I am digging further to see is histaminosis may also be playing a role in the lingering symptoms I have after addressing the nutritional and thyroid issues.  BTW, it seems I have to be gluten and dairy free these days or I feel rotten.
