Anxiety/health anxiety
25yr old female I’ve always dealt with anxiety and depression for years and it’s slowly gotten worse and shifted into health anxiety. If my chest is tight or my head hurts i immediately panic and think I’m dying or I have cancer. I abuse chat gbt and constantly look up or ask about my symptoms and have even had trips to the urgent care after having a really bad panic attack.
As of now I have a therapist that I got to on occasion and I’m working with a psychiatrist as well. I’m currently on vilazadone or Viibryd and I’m on week four of this medication I’ve previously been on Zoloft,Wellbutrin and lexapro and those never worked for me there was always side effects like weight gain or sexual dysfunction.
If I’m being honest the vilazadone is by far the worst medication I’ve been on side effects wise so far I have a constant ringing in my ears which has me convinced it’s never going to go away and it’s crippling me I feel insane I wake up to and go to sleep to and I’m genuinely scared and I feel alone. I’m constantly crying all the time and I feel like my anxiety is worse than before I get these moments where my whole body gets hot and I feel like I can’t feel my face. But I know it’s just my anxiety and i know that I have to (according to my psychiatrist) wait to see result after 6-8 wks after starting medication but I’m scared and I feel like no one understands.
Please If anyone has advice please let me know..
