u/Frulando

So long story short I’ve quit drugs mostly stimulants and weed 2 months ago I’ve been clean this whole time but while getting off them i got in return anxiety.

My anxiety is mostly physical i get racing heart rate pain in my chest extreme heat that i cant shake off (mind you it is hot currently in my area). Sweating one palm more then the other.

On 12th of April i was hospitalised and i had an SVT that has been induced by stimulants amphetamines and cocain
Since then i didn’t have any similar arithmetic problems .

My holter ekg and ultrasound of heart are all good
Ive been left whit these physical like symptoms of spiny head sweat and everything and most triggers are like adrenalin based i would say.

When i was watching a movie there was a race and suspense was building and i felt panicky and had to take a breather also playing video games makes me feel pins and needles in my arms along side getting worm

I saw my psychiatrist today he said that clonidine is worth a shot since when i was hospitalised i did have high BP and heart rate

I usually kill my anxiety (if the wave doesn’t pass on its own) with normabel 5mg (benzodiazepine)

The waves i would say have been less and less frequent.
So my question is do you ppl have any recommendations or experience with clonidine it self?

The dose that has been prescribed is 0,150mg

I used to be a big druggie spent most of my teen years on drugs ranging from stimulants to opioids where most of the abuse was amphetamine coke and thc but i have tried everything from hallucinogenic to even oxys and stuff like that
A month ago i ended up in the ambulance my whole body was in a spasm lived trough an SVT and decided to stop everything cold turkey its been a month and I’ve been getting this episodes where my diaphragm would spasm and where i would get spiny and go into panic that svt and spasms are coming again my hands would go numb and it feels like somebody is pinching me every where sometimes on my right arm sometimes on my leg sometimes on my back.

I know its probably just the nervous system doing its thing i even stoped cigarettes i used to smoke pack a day

My psychiatrist said to try and live with it when i cant i take normabel5mg (benzo) I’ve had some good days like 3 good then 4/5 bad ones

He also recommended antidepressants which i dont know if i want everything is still so fresh and i dont think i need them i think i manage my anxiety pretty well i distract my self with some physical work or smthin else

Ive noticed that routine dose a pretty good job of keeping things under control do you guys have any recommendation of how to calm your self down and not think about the physical effects of anxiety

Also im 22y/o rn trainign every morning helps also

Sorry for the rent i love you thanks for the reply’s
