Need help

[goodguy89]

I don't know what i am going through i don't know what this is.

well i am 20 year old male i had depression before due to smoking marijuana once only, that lead to anxiety i've had anxiety attack/panic attack about 5 weeks ago i was on paxil it didnt go well for me. I've been prescribed  for prozac day time & elavil at night. I also did ct scan because of headaches but the headaches went away but after taking prozac (4th week) it puts some pressure on my head i can't describe it like if i dont do something my mind tells me to do i get this pressure feeling in head it makes me feel really weird. I can give an example "I am driving and in my head i tell my self steer to left and right" if i dont do it i start feeling pressured and not comfortable.
The prozac does help me but it puts another pressure on my head i don't know what this is its driving me really crazy another example "Like i twitch my eyes if i dont do it i dont feel comfortable, or saying something in a weird way if i dont do it i get these pressures help".
Any help would be great.

I have smoke marijuana for many years now, it calms my anxiety, and when my anxiety gets to the point that I cant eat, marijuana give me the appetite.

I was on Prozac years ago, when it first came out, and like most people, I started to feel better and went off it. Then my anxiety came back, I went back on the Prozac and suffered side effects like you mention with your eyes, or decisions, I was also dizzy and it felt like I was living in a movie not in real life, so I got off of it.

You may be experiencing side effects, but not to worry, talk to your Dr., there are many other meds you can take which can relieve the pressure.

Im currently taking Cipralex, and havent had the side effects I had with others like Prozac, Wellbutrin etc. I also take meds for my bi-polar, Quetiapine, which helps with the anxiety and the "inner voice" that comes when a decision, simple or not comes into play. I have never heard of someone getting side effects from smoking marijuana, especially if you only did it once.

oo i just noticed you said about marijuana, i also was a heavy user pretty much 5 to ten times a day for 3 years, and out of kno where it gave me extreme panic attacks and anxiety, thats pretty much where it started wit me, and it led to all these other wierd symptoms

i kinda kno what your taking about..with the eye thing every once in awhile ill get this feeling where i have to make my eyes look all the way left or right and if i dont do it i feel wierd..it sounds like an ocd thing..but anxiety can cause all types of wierd thoughts and symptoms..the pressure thing i also can relate to, that and dizziness is what caused me to go to the neurologist, cause i kept thinking i had a brain tumor or something..hope you feel better dude, anxiety is a bit**
