Let me start off with saying im a 23 yr old female, abt 280lbs, severe Anxiety, depression & Health anxiety. Back ard Feb I was put on high dose of Lexapro after only taking 5 mgs for a couple of months before that , I felt it had stopped working so I asked for a different medication my doc insisted that since it worked for a while in the begging that we should try a high dose before trying something new ,also had a standard blood panels done witch showed a slightly evelated alt level & high cholesterol so I went on a 3 weeks diet to try & lower both I was then but on 20 milligrams , where then within a couple of weeks I noticed I was a little bit more tired then normal & I thought it was stemming panic attacks which I have never felt with before EVER SO IT WAS SUPER WEIRD , so I stopped it cold turkey ard the end of Feb/ march ,March 2nd I went to the er & ALL MY BLOODWORK WAS Completely normal Except literally a low Co2 level which I was informed was prolly just a panic attack so I went home , March 4th I went & got my blood work done again to check my levels for my alt & cholesterol & my alt was back in normal range & cholesterol was trending down .. by March 8th I had completely felt so sick like something terribly was wrong with me really badly , to the point where I was screaming at the top of my lungs that I was going to die to my mom .. I had woke up randomly with vertigo symptoms my head was spinning so bad , I couldn’t barley stay awake , I was having heart palpitations, chest pain & really bad hot flashes hot of nowhere , I kept going to the hospital & they couldn’t find anything wrong other then a slightly evelated wbc , platelet count & neutro absolute , they blew it off & said it was anxiety .. so I went home & the symptoms never stopped, they got worse I started losing rapid weight I was 280 March 8th I am now 253 April 25 , my peeing started to become weird & stool started to go weird to , ard March 17th I went back in again bc I had now lost so much weight it was scaring me & I couldn’t eat at all just drink and my ear was starting to hurt so I was diagnosed with Otis media ( middle ear infection) they said only comes from a different infection like sinus I informed them I had not been sick at all so idk how I got it , I was put on cefdinir , I took a couple caps of cough medicine thinking maybe this is just a weird head cold went in March 18th for more blood work & it showed my liver enzymes were at 117 & ast was 60 my alk Phosphatase
Was in Normal range tho & bilirubin. March 20th I went back into the doctors & I was telling him everything , again I was blowed off & was told it was anxiety from quitting lexapro cold turkey & maybe a mild gas of here , & was giving different antidepressants fluoxetine (Prozac) 20mgs & Hydroxyzine 25mgs some Pepcid , i couldn’t even stay awake at all by this time , my body was telling me I was sick somewhere but my labs were somewhat fine I wasn’t eating AT ALL bc I just stopped being hungry , strictly drinking water , so I started taking the medicine hoping this was exactly WHAT IM TOLD IT WAS .. by March 21st from the 18th my liver enzymes doubled to 256 I was told maybe the medicine at this point I was in and out of every er & doctors telling them something really doesn’t seem okay I was noticing these like bright red dots like petetchie but some weren’t some blanch but my platelets are fine but I looked it up & it said I had Lueikma .. health anxiety , conveniences my brain fully that I had it I’m telling the doctors that I have it and want to be tested for it bc I had every single symptom except night sweats & swollen lymph nodes , 7 blood panels abdominal ct scan with contrast (no swollen lymph nodes or liver or spleen) & a autoimmune panel & 4 chest X-rays & NOTHING ! By week 3-4 on fluoxetine I started noticing this really bad aches in my legs and arm and chest , idk if it’s muscle joint or bone & it started to scare me bc I wasn’t experiencing this before until the medicine but my brain had convinced me that it was another sign of luekima bc I was in full flight or fight mode .. I looked it up & it said it could be a side effect of the fluoxetine so I didn’t think nothing of it I had a serve dry throat really bad & I was sweating bad .. which were all signs of Prozac but also what I though it was too , I eventually said I can’t take the Prozac anymore and now I’m on a srni instead of ssri but I was only on the Prozac for abt 4 weeks just enough to for my body to just start getting used to it now I changed it & im still experiencing the bone pain it’s be like 3/4 days I think since I haven’t took it I still feel extremely weird I have weird pressure in my upper right abdominal area but literally no pain just a weird sensation of bloating or fullness , boob & arm pit pain & serve short of breath on that side as well, the bone pain or w/e it is , is everywhere comes & goes like sharp pain throughout the day but I feel it more at night idk if that my anxiety telling my brain that bc I’m scared that I have something wrong but I still feel extremely weird now everything is in normal range& I still can’t seem to feel better at all , total loss of appetite I still have the red dots on my arms & chest . And my head still is extremely foggy & dizzy .. I’m really scared but the doctors said the dots don’t look alarming to them at all & that was said by 5 docs they also said if I had what I thought it would’ve shown by now on a cbc expectantly after weeks & 7 panels .. I’m still seeking answers bc I still feel extremely weird I go back to the doctors last week & ask for a ferritin , and vitamin panel & those were good other then vitiam d 25 hyproz was low .. idk but I’m extremely scared I have the most insane sleep issomina right now & these weird internal shakes every morning I’m a mom of 2 babygirls & im really scared what could be happening could this really all be anxiety or quitting Lexapro cold turkey and going on a low carb & cholesterol diet for a couple weeks .. idk please someone I need advice ..
