Hi there everyone, I wonder if you can give me some suggestions and help.
I live in the U.K and for about 5 years I have struggled with a problem which the doctors over here call depression but Im not so sure. Basically after a period of considerable pain and stress due to headaches, one day a feeling I can only describe as fear came over me and Ive struggled with it since that time. I dont have any suicidal thoughts, panic attacks or bad feelings about myself and no real physical symptoms such as sweating , rapid heart beat or palpitations.
What I do have is a constant tension in my brain which is full of thoughts going on and on about my state of mind and a feeling I can best describe as fear. I beleive from reading other posts the
thoughts may be ruminations?!
I have tried doxepin, trazadone and remeron for months with no effect, paxil and zoloft made me worse very quickly.
I know how it feels to be normal because every evening after about 8pm the feelings go away and my mind is calm and relaxed. I meditate and exercise regularly with little effect and dont have any compulsions.
So I wonder if you could help firstly in giving me an idea of what I may be suffering from but most importantly have any of you experienced this and have you any ideas of what might help?
Thankyou for any information you may have
ps Ive just started librium for a few days but it doesnt seem to have made much difference yet.
