Is anyone else's anxiety/panic feeling constant???

[KellyAnn016]

I am almost always experiencing some kind of odd feeling in my head... or some other symptom. My brain seems to be always wired and it is impossible to concentrate, let alone all the other symptoms of anxiety (nausea, derealization, blurred vision). This happens all day and night..sometimes only a little sometimes a lot, but it never goes away completely. My doctor suggests that this constant feeling isn't normal for anxiety, as anxiety comes in waves. Does anyone else experience a constant wired, anxious feeling? He suggests that I see a neurologist... or some doctor specializing in internal medicine. Thoughts?

I am actually on Lexapro but I think it is making me very sick. I am posting a new question to see if anyone has had problems with this medicine. Note that I have been on Lexapro for about 4 months, so it wouldn't be initial side effects that dissipate after a while. Have you had any experience with Lexapro? My doctor wants to switch SSRis. Quite frankly I have had enough with the drugs. I start clinicals in 5 days and need to be on my game.

Thank you everyone for the amazing support! It feels good to know that I am not alone in this difficult time. I actually went to an ENT and he suggested that I have a VNG done, which tests your inner ear. This test requires you to have no sleep aid in your system so I cannot take clonazepam for 48 hours prior. This makes me nervous! After trial and error I feel as though an inner ear problem may be the culprit of this constant nausea and dizziness, or a side effect of my medication Lexapro. Or anxiety obviously! Hopefully time will tell!

Have your cortisol levels checked (using saliva testing). An overproduction of cortisol by the adrenal glands can result in persistent anxiety. Anxiety often has a physical cause. It did with me.

Starfish,

Somebody recently told me about Bach's Rescue Remedy.  Have you ever taken Xanax or Ativan, or something similar?  Is Bach's comparable to the calming feeling you get with those?

When I experience anxiety it is exactly as you have described, but I have found the bachs herbal remedy spray completely helps me an makes me feel so much better within minutes, hope you feel better soon x
