> This definitely is not normal anxiety. There's a physical aspect to it. My muscles all feel tensed up even though I know they're relaxed. It's like restless leg syndrome all day with your whole body, which makes me incapable of focusing on anything, thus enjoying nothing.Do you think you might be going through some sort of withdrawal? You were on Seroquel, right?
You already have anxiety to begin with, and now, after being on and off certain medications, your physiology may be going through an adjustment period.
I really wish you were open to taking some herbs, supplements/vitamins and medicinal mushrooms that might help you get through this. I will list some that I think might help.
Ashwagandha-great for me before bed
Schisandra-smooth relaxing energy
Chyavanprash-overall better feeling of well being
Holy Basil-New Chapter's-relaxing and uplifting
Magnesium-glycinate or taurinate
GABA
Poria cocas-mushroom-haven't tried yet
Cordyceps(love this one)-mushroom-2 to 3 grams
Reishi-mushroom-haven't tried yetYour system has temporarily been throw out of whack and you may need some things to help get you back to wellness.
Can you exercise? Are you able to eat well right now?
Also, since you were on Seroquel(I think!?), would you be open to trying a low dose of lithium to help you relax and help your brain recover from the stress it's been under? Lithium at low non toxic doses may be very beneficial to brain health and function.
