Hi everyone,
About a year ago, I was put on esomeprazole for a month for acid reflux, and I reacted really badly to it (vomiting undigested food, digestive issues, brain fog, feeling generally unwell, and a lot of health anxiety). I ended up stopping it abruptly because the side effects became unbearable.
About two weeks later, I started having panic attacks, constant anxiety, and a sense of dread.
I had never struggled with anxiety before this, but for the past year it’s been a nightmare. Every day around 7 pm, the anxiety kicks in. It’s not as intense as it used to be a few months ago, but it’s still there.
I also still deal with reflux and a white-coated tongue (not sure if that’s related?).
Has anyone else gone through something similar? I honestly don’t recognize myself anymore…I used to be very calm and grounded.
Thank you!
