HELP!

[Lamel]

I have pretty much had anxiety issues my whole life.  It's not new.  I've also pretty much realized when I have a panic attack it is going to go away.  But here lately I feel like I'm in a almost constant panic attack.  Not the whole full blown thing but I'm so anxious all the time and I also have some of the symptoms almsot all the time like rapid heart rate, feeling of being out of control, etc. but the worse thing of all is I'm having migraines everyday.  I think that the migraines have made the anxiety worse but I'm not sure which started which.  It doesn't help that I have to take tons of meds. just to function bc of the constant migraines.  I have always taken xanex for the anxiety but I have recently begun taking Buspar bc I need something pretty much at all times.  It's that bad.  Anyway, I need to know if anyone else who has major anxiety and panic disorder also suffers from chronic migraines and can anyone offer any help.  I can't sleep from all the meds. and I can't function w/o them and that's just for the migraines.  That doesn't even take the meds for the panic attacks and anxiety under account.  Today I had taken two Buspar and two Xanax in the morning and then at lunch and had a full blown panic attack an hr. after the second dose.  Also, is anybody else this screwed up?  I swear I have nothing to be anxious about except the idea of another migraine.

You should not have to suffer they way you are suffering.  Have you been to your doctor recently?  If you have, perhaps change your doctor and start with someone who will really listen to you and help you get out of this vicious circle.

Anxiety can cause migraines, and they having migraines is enough to give you more anxiety.  It sounds like your current medication is not working for you, please go to a doctor, you should not have to continue this way.

Caveman's suggestions of a chiropractor and/or massage therapist sound an excellent idea for the migraine relief, but only once you have seen your doctor.

Keep us posted, you will feel better, believe it!

I've never had it as bad as you but I do get headaches with my anxiety not migrains but what helps me the most is going to the chiropractor and a massage therapist it really helps me give it try.
