I have been feeling generally unwell for as long as I have been taking meds...almost 20 years now. It doesn't matter which meds I take--and I have tried many--I never look or feel healthy. (It's important to note that some drugs, such as Seroquel, make me feel much more poisoned than others.) I have big bags under my eyes and am constantly washing my face with warm water in an attempt to "freshen up". I currently take only 2.5 mg Zypreza plus 5 mg diazepam before bed to help me sleep. Without these meds I would have more than malaise--I would have insomnia from hell and be jumping out of my skin with panic and anxiety. It's such a Catch 22! I'm wondering if there is depression under my anxiety that is causing me to feel sickly all the time and if I should perhaps be trying another antidepressant such as Celexa. Unfortunately, I haven't had a positive response to ADs in the past. Are there others such as I who are simply surviving and who have pretty much given up on ever feeling good again?
