ok, so this might get a little lengthy..... sorry. so, all my life i've been a very happy go lucky person. i loved life. now i'm 22 yrs old, married to the man of my dreams, have two beautiful children, the life i always wanted.
Well, when i was 30 weeks pregnant with my son i woke up and my right arm was feeling kind of heavy, didn't think anything of it till all of a sudden i got tingles going up and down my arm, i called my dad (my mom has small vessel disease which causes her to have strokes) to find out what the symptoms of a stroke were. as i was talking to him the right side of my face went limp and i started sluring my words. i went to the hospital and they did an MRI which all came back normal so the dr said it was all migrane related. So we went home, went back to wisconsin to visit family, 3 days after we got back i started feeling very weird. i am no longer pregnant, my son is actually 2 and half months old now. I feel light headed all the time, like im constantlly on drugs (which i don't do) or like i'm stuck in a dream all the time. i sleep reallly good at night but i'm tired all day. after i had my son i was diagnosed with post pardum depression and anxiety, so they put me on lexapro, but i didn't like the way it made me feel so i stopped taking them, went back to the dr and he put me on zoloft, which gave me my first panic attack. so i stopped taking those. i went to my normal dr instead of the therapist and she put me on celexa and is sending me to a nuerologist. Oh, i also developed tachycardia while i was pregnant and it hasn't seemed to have gone away. Ive been on the celexa for 10 days now, and i feel no different than i did before, well besides having increased anxiety and panic attacks everyday. I know it takes time for the celexa work, but i would have though that i would notice some sort of difference by now. I'm only 22 yrs old and have 2 children, i have to be strong for them but i don't want to live the rest of my life feeling like this. i fear everyday that i'm gonna have another episode of having stroke symptoms which i'm not convinced was migrane related. I fear everyday tthat my husband is going to get sick of me not being the woman he married, and find someone else. I'm not convinced that this is all anxiety, if it was, i would think that the meds would make me feel a little better by now. so if you have any idea of whatelse it could be, PLEASE let me know! i can't live like this anymore! Thankyou
