Am I experiencing withdrawal symptoms or am I just anxious?
I (19f) have been experiencing lightheadedness, nausea, loss of appetite, migraine, and a “screenshot” like feeling for the past 2 weeks and it has only gotten worse recently (around 5 days ago) I weigh around 150 pounds and I’m 5’2. I have ADHD, OCD, and MDD and was heavily medicated for it until a month ago in which I was hospitalized and told to relax from my medication for a bit.
I haven’t taken any of my meds since and I felt fine the first 2-3 weeks, but then started slowing having the symptoms I mentioned earlier in this post. It also doesn’t help that I tend to have pretty rough panic attacks and freeze up a lot. My family has a pretty complex medical history as their immigrants and had most (if not all) of their medical problems show after they moved to America. I myself have a pretty expansive medical history but recently (like past 3 years) have been told by almost every doctor I’ve been to that I’m fine and just chalk up all my problems to “just anxiety” It also doesn’t help that I tend to have rough periods too, that my previous medication would help me with. And now with these new symptoms, I’m sacred to go back to the doctor, as I feel like they will just check me and say that I’m “too young” or “just anxious” and then I’ll get nothing out of it and I’ll just have to suffer until I either get treatment or wait for everything to go away (which it never really does)
I’m only making a post on here as I’ve heard my symptoms could lead to worse things if not treated, but I wanna make sure this is something worth going to the doctor and not “just anxiety” I’ll list the meds I used to take now and I’ll mention one more thing.
My mom and aunt both have Lupus. My aunt has two kids and while my male cousin is fine, my female cousin has tested positive for the lupus gene, but not the disease. I also got tested this year and I’m finally old enough and got the same results as her. Although I’m in the process of getting tested and checked again as I do show symptoms, but my mom’s lupus doctor denied me having it has my lymph nodes weren’t swollen.
