Advice
I really need some advice. So back in November I got my tooth pulled and got put on amoxicillin for antibiotics. After taking it for a couple days it started giving me anxiety and anxiety attacks which I never dealt with before. I saw many others had the same issue on here so I thought I would feel normal again after a couple weeks but still 8 months later i have been dealing with anxiety waves. My anxiety is physical and random. I don’t even deal with anxious thoughts, my heart just starts racing out of no where and I get a pit in my stomach. I started seeing a new doctor and she gave me hydroxizine at first to see if it would help but it made me feel weird and gave me terrible brain fog the next day. I went back today and she prescribed me lexapro 10mg which I told her I didn’t think I needed it because my anxiety is physical and not mental… she insisted that it was okay for me to need medication but I just don’t think I need lexapro. I wanted to ask to get on proprnolol because i have heard it helps with physical symptoms but I couldn’t really get it out when talking with her today because i was crying so much. This whole thing is so frustrating for me since i have never dealt with anxiety before any of this happened. Has anyone else experienced this and what helped? 19,F
