okay so I'm going to start at the very beginning.
about three months ago (june 9th, 2016) I came to the conclusion I had to leave my boyfriend behind due to abusive tendancies and controlling behavior. I decided it wasn't right for me and wasn't helping me. this was a very hard decision and took about three weeks to a month to actually complete.
a few days following the day I made this decision I had a serious panic attack while working.
I got really light headed and dizzy, couldn't think straight, and just wanted to lay down and sleep. I ate some food but didn't get better and was so frazzled at work I wound up being sent home early.
I had a second even worse panic attack later on the next day I front of my grandmother, all I could think was that I was deffinitly dying, and that there was something seriously wrong with me.
I should mention that I have been on Adderall for 7 months, 10 mg a day and I had just switched pharmacies, which I have heard is sometimes a switch in manufacturers.
after convincing myself I was dying, of course I had to have a disease right?? so I decided I deffinitly had multiple sclerosis, went to the doctor, she said it was anxiety, and prescribed me with Lexapro.
I started the Lexapro mid june, and was weaned off of it completely by the end of july because I started to twitch a lot, and get tingling finger tips and stuff like that which freaked me out really bad, and wound up calming me down but not helping me to forget that I thought I had ms.
I now completely have the boy out of my life, and I have for at least a month now. but I have a really hard time with a lot of things still such as:
getting out of bed in the morning
not thinking that I have ms
focusing on work all day
going out and seeing people face to face
I feel emotionally numb, I never really cried over the break up
I AM also expirinceing some exciting physical symptoms HERE AND There, such as:
pain in legs & Arms, almost like a cramp but not really
tingling feet especially when sitting down
headaches around eyes/sore eyes
seems like blurred vision, but for some reason I only notice it when I think about it ( so probably not)
my feet will burn . for no reason. ( I stand on them all day)
also I should mention that I am off the adderal now, for three days. I stopped taking it the entire time I was on the Lexapro, and then when I got off of it I thought I was okay, I started taking it for about two weeks, realized that the crashes were making me freak out really bad, so I decided I needed to deffinitly not take that for a while until I can get my head on straight . If that ever happens.
I am completely miserable and sick of feeling this way!!! I just want to believe I don't have multiple scleroris and heal from this entire thing!
