I also get really bad akathesia from SSRI. I'm sorry to hear you are not feeling so well right now! You might want to consider trying Lamictal...maybe you won't have a bad reaction to it, even though it seems you are sensitive to meds, maybe this will be different?? I take it for bipolar depression, but my experience is that it helped with my anxiety a lot. You didn't mention depression in your post. Is that also a symptom? How is your mood when you experience anxiety?

It also sounds like there are a lot of other physical health problems going on. You might want to work on treatments for those things, as I believe if you are physically healthier, you will feel healthier mentally.

I know I have been guilty in the past for chalking up any physical discomfort to my depression/anxiety. If I have aches and pains, headaches, etc. I would always think "oh it's my depression, I need to treat that" but then I have to ask myself am I eating healthy? Am I getting enough physical activity? Am I dehydrated? Am I drinking too much liquor and smoking too much??
