After thirteen years of severe anxiety and countless meds, my nervous system is now so sensitized that even a mild anxiety attack with interrupted sleep leaves me in agony the next day. The headache and burning sensation down my spine results in suicidal urges and long bouts of crying every day. I am currently on 5 mg Zyprexa with diazepam to help quell my nightly anxiety attacks. (I am phobic of insomnia and mortally afraid of the pain symptoms.) I have tried so many AD's with no relief whatsoever-most make me feel like I am going to jump out of my skin. I feel so screwed and wish I had never started taking pills! I have never tried Paxil, although Effexor triggered such a strong panic attack I called the ambulance. Just venting and looking for suggestions...not in my wildest dreams would I have thought this much suffering was possible.
