Does this sound like an anxiety problem?
Feb 18th
My husband (he’s 40 and in pretty good shape) has been feeling unwell since the end of August. It started with a non-severe headache that comes and goes, but he generally has it every day at some point and in some area of his head (not always the same). Sometimes it hurts more in his forehead and sometimes at the back of his head, or sometimes on one side. The doctor diagnosed tension headaches, probably because my husband has been under stress lately (financial and work). He tried amitriptyline (prescribed for bedtime use), but that just made him exhausted during the day, so he stopped taking it. He has tried every kind of Tylenol and ibuprofen and sometimes it helps, but not always. He has found that he often gets mild nausea as well. He’s been back to the doctor twice and last time, they sent him for a sinus x-ray (we don’t have the results back yet) and prescribed nasocort. He said last night he got the chills, no fever, and started getting really worked up, so his pulse was racing. He isn’t typically a complainer, but he does get really anxious about anything medical. I think he’s afraid he has a brain tumor, although the doctor doesn’t seem to think so. I am wondering if he’s having anxiety issues and if that could be playing into this. He has been to the e.r with "hart attack symptoms" once and another time he was having an allergic reaction to something and suffered a panic attack, but he has never been treated for any form of anxiety. He stays pretty quiet when he’s upset and I am the only one who sees it. I know anxiety/panic attacks run in his family… his sister has a mild form of it. Our daughter is a very anxious type as well. I have made an appointment to go in with my husband and talk to the doctor later this week. I am wondering if anyone familiar with anxiety/panic attacks can identify with this. He has no other symptoms other than the headache and nausea.

For people who have been diagnosed with a form of mental disorder?
Feb 13th
Just gathering information for research, some of you may not be comfortable answering, that’s ok. 
e.g. Depression, Anxiety, panic attacks, Bi-polar disorder, Schizophrenia, etc.
1.) What were you diagnosed with?
2.) At what age were you diagnosed? From a young age, teenage years, adulthood?
3.) Do you believe that your symptoms and diagnosis of this disorder could have been brought on by any of the following: relationship problems, hardships, mistreatment or unfortunate events that happened in your life? (If you want you can elaborate.)
4.) Addition to question #3: If these hardships hadn’t occured, do you feel that you would never have been diagnosed with this disorder?
Thanks.

Help with panic/anxiety medications…?
Feb 5th
I have been suffering from panic disorder for 5 years. I have gone through therapy where the doctor just ended drugging me up with so many different types of anti-depressants..which didn’t work, they only made me have more anxiety. the one doctor gave me xanax. Only 1 mg a day..to be split in half, half in the am when I wake up, and half in the afternoon around 4…since then I can count the amount of anxiety/panic attacks I have had on one hand. Yes I know…THEY ARE HIGHLY ADDICTIVE..BUT THEY WORK. Also I have found no matter what medication you take they are all addictive. Has anyone found a medication that actually helps with the anxiety? No Effexor, Lexapro, Paxil…etc. I have tried these. Just needingt some help and feedback. Thanks
