> Are you eating properly? i have found that to cause me to have similar symptoms to anxiety. Also are you drinking alot of coffee/cafffiene/sugar?
Hi. Yes, I eat pretty well. There are a lot of days when it's hard to eat because of the fear. But I always do eat something healthy. Caffeine was the first thing to go, months ago.
I just feel like giving up. The only thing that helps really is a benzodiazepine and I'm just terrified of developing dependence on those because I've been through that once and getting off was awful although admittedly I didn't taper. I was severely depressed and when the doctor said the benzo was contributing to the depression I couldn't get off fast enough. Not real smart but that was 20 years ago.
Thanks.
Marsha
