generalized anxiety syndrome

s about 8-10 inches on either side with dispersed pustules. This may be a far cry from just typical Generalized Anxiety but its worth looking into. I was considering going gluten- free for a week and seeing if i would notice a difference although I'm unsure when the symptoms would decrease after that change. thank you again for your assistance!!

I have a question. I was diagnosed years ago with Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Anxiety Attacks and Agoraphobia. I had a discussion tonight with a friend who keeps saying I do it to myself. I have had this along with a diagnosis of ADD as well as Bipolar 2 and then Clinical Depression. I was wondering if Anxiety is really something that can be controlled by the mind or if it really does need to be treated with medication?

Hi Everyone, I am new to the anxiety forum. Had a a few weeks of anxiety hit me in January when I was having medical testing done. I am 36 and have high blood pressure every time I see a doctor as I just get so nervous when I go to the doctor. They ran tests which freaked me out even more and wham, I was then anxiouss all the time. The tests eventually all came back normal. With that reassurance my anxiety vanished.& I was even able ot take my BP at home with no anxiety.

I have a generalized anxiety disorder and a phobia of HIV and rabies. I went to get my blood work down and the nurse used a vacutainer to draw blood. However, the vacutainer holder was reused ( the nurse confirmed it is only the needle which is changed and not the holder as it does not come into contact with the patient) and now I think I will get HIV and I keep thinking about HIV until I get tested again at 3 months after the window period. luckily I have medicines however I hate this.

I am not diagnosing GAD, but I am just suspecting it.

I am going to assume that the problem you have is what is called generalized anxiety (as opposed to panic disorder, or obsessive compulsive disorder or posttraumatic stress disorder). Broadly these are the options - 1. Benzodiazepines like lorazepam (Ativan), diazepam (Valium), clonazepam (Klonopin), etcetera.

Diazepam carries a bi-phasic half-life of 20-50 hours (for Diazepam), and 30-200 hours (for Desmethyldiazepam). Valium is indicated for the long-term management of generalized anxiety and tension-anxiety. Tolerance will not develop to the anxiolytic property of Diazepam, although tolerance will develop to the sedative/hypnotic property.

Hello.....I am a 42 y/o female who has recently been dx with Sjogren's Syndrome (4/22/16) via lip bx. I am on Plaquenil (for the 4th time) and Evoxac and I have been having some other symptoms that have me puzzled. They are.......despite being on Evoxac, I am still having trouble swallowing......sometimes. I am still in the habit of sipping while I am eating/chewing, it seems like it always happens in public too.

I'm afraid that i am not going to be much help except to tell you I have been having similar problems this week. I don't know what is causing it either. I just started taking 50,000 units of Vitamin D and don't know if that could be a factor or not. I don't like this and I take meds for depression and something to hold my thoughts together. This doctor calls it thought glue. It is supposed to help with the symptoms from my thyroid.

Consult a neurologist to investigate certain electroloye deficiencies like hypo kalemia, hypomagnesemia, hypocalcemia etc. as the cause for this generalized body muscle spasms. Anxiety is another cause. Take care.

Yes, yes, and yes!! This is called GAD, generalized anxiety lingering in the background between attacks, very common!

I have had generalized granuloma annulare for the past 20 years, it continues to spread and no lesions ever heal. It affects almost every part of my body. In the past two months it has escalated exponentially, the frequency of new lesions and the spread of already present ones have taken months in what in the past would have taken years. The skin discoloration has also become much more severe as well as the inflammation of the papules.

ve just started taking meds for my thyroid so hopefully my symptoms (fatigue and generalized felling of anxiety/nervousness) will be no more!

Yes! Yes! and YES! I have generalized anxiety, but can literally go months without symptoms and feel great, then BOOM I can get hit out of nowhere. I have been suffering from neck, shoulder, lower back and head tension, and even weird visual disturbances. I can look at something up close and it starts to wiggle or something. I call it "shakey cam". It's hard to explain. What's strange is that I do not feel Anxious, yet I'm symptomatic. There is a reason I'm tense.

I was diagnosed with GAD 16 months ago but I have experienced anxiety symtoms since I was 18 now I am 51. Therapy has done wonders for me to understand the way my mind processes anxiety symptoms and has taught me how to deal with them. Also the frequency of my panic attacks have decreased since going through therapy and coming to this forum has helped . My concern for you is your need for a Dr. you can trust. Maybe you should consider going to a Dr. that has a good reputation.

I was just curious about generalized anxiety vs. anxiety over a specific thing. For me, I dont have generalized anxiety, I have a specific anxiety of throwing up (emetophobia). I wonder which is more "popular"...generalized or specialized?

Benzodiazepines have robust efficacy in the short-term management of generalized anxiety disorder (GAD), but were not shown to be effective in producing long-term improvement overall. Although benzodiazepines are much safer in overdose than their predecessors, the barbiturates, they can still cause problems in overdose.

Flu like symptoms, runny nose, generalized body aches, leg and arm pain, restless leg syndrome, headaches, diarreah, vomiting, fatigue, cold sweats, chronic goose bumps, depression and anxiety. It can range from feeling like a mild flu to the worst flu ever to worse still, depending on amount of usage and time spent using. Ususally the worst of the physical withdrawal is over between 5-7 days. Take care and let us know what your story is. Its not all horrible.

Thinking about trying Lexapro for generalized anxiety. Any advice or experiences? I have previously tried Buspar (had no effect) and Zoloft which made me constantly nauseous.
