Question for OneScaredBuckeye

by Kimmas, Oct 20, 2007 10:40AM
I saw your post to Ryan about the valuim issue and you mentioned you suffered from muscle tension anxiety. I think that may be what I have. Can you tell me what your symptoms were? How did you treat it? How long did it take? etc.........
I hate the feelings that I get and don't know what to do

Thanks

Hi,

I just felt terribly tense all the time, almost stiff and I had trouble swallowing because I would tense up my throat every time something was in my mouth.  Going to the dentist was terrible for me.  For years, I lived on liquids.  When it was at it's worst, I would feel like I couldn't breathe simply because my chest muscles were so tense.  I just couldn't relax.

I took Valium, 10 mg. two to three times a day and later was able to reduce it to 10 mg. once a day.  When I took Valium 10 mg. once a day with Sinequan (doxepin) 50 mg. once a day, I felt much, much less tense.

I suffered with this for years and years.  I don't know exactly what made it go away, but for the most part, it did.  Now, I only feel tense once in awhile, not often at all.

I hope you feel a lot better soon.  Good luck.
