That's a shame, Jeanie. I have alot of anxiety & an occasional panic attack when I am ill, too. It's awful to be so frightened.


I would trust the doctor & the diagnosis. Sinus & inner ear infections go hand in hand & can really screw up your balance, as well as cause the nausea & vomiting. Take the meds the doctor ordered. Eat right & get plenty of rest. I am sure you will be right as rain. It just doesn't feel that way because of the infection. It never happens fast enough for us, either.

Jeanie,


I am so sorry to hear this. I agree with Jan that anxiety and sickness sometimes go hand in hand. You have seen all my ups and downs and I have always gotten over it and done well.


Are you one any anxiety meds yet? I know that has been and issuse for you?


Please just rest and lean on the people you need to, do what you have to to get better. YOU WILL!


Take Care and email me if you need to...


((((BIG HUGS))))

Glad to hear that you are feeling a bit better. I understand what you mean about the anxiety keeping you up then sleeping once the sun rises. I am the same way. For me I think it is because I feel safer during the daytime, I am not scared of the dark but I just feel more vulnerable at night. Plus I am alone and the kids are in bed.

Hopefully you will be fully recovered soon and feel 100%.

Hugs,

Lisa

Hi, Jeanie! How's it going? I am keeping my fingers crossed that you're doing better. I have never taken lexapro, but I have taken many antidepressants for anxiety. It is difficult getting started because of the fears. Try to keep that in perspective. We're all different. We all have different side effects. We may get one, some or none:) As for anxiety increasing with meds, it can happen. Maybe it's the meds. Maybe it's the fear of the meds. It has NEVER happened to me. Whatever reason it might happen, it is only temporary. Just a couple of days & the feeling will go away. I am not a drug pusher, Jeanie, but I sure wish you'd give this lexapro a shot. If you took the meds @ the hospital ok, I think you can reassure yourself that you will do fine. We want you to feel better. It would be so great for you to live a good life without the fear & get out in the big wide world. Honestly, I have been in your shoes & don't ever want to go back there. Good luck & GBU! (((hugs))) jan

I have been on many antidepressants in the 35 plus years of my panic attacks. The last one was effexor xl & I was on it for 3 years. It worked well, along with anafranil & luvox. Now, I take the klonopin 0.25 mg. twice a day.

Jeanie hope your feeling better. I jusy want to let you know that I also went through the same thing as you last winter. I woke through the night and opened my eyes and it felt like I was on a roller coaster, talk about scared! I went to the ER and it was vertigo most likely caused by a virus of some sort. I had to lay with my head to the right for days and couldn't bend over at all. I was lucky and did not get the vomiting that alot of people get with it. It took some time to recover , the major dizzness lasted maybe a week, then it felt like I had the flu which took time to recover. I know what you went through and it is really scary , but now I know not serious . My Doc told me that once it happens the chances of the veritgo coming back again are high, not what I wanted to hear but since it happened I do get dizzness sometimes, just out of the blue i'll have this wosh of it, it only lasts for a few seconds but freaks me out everytime. Anyway just wanted you to know you aren't alone and all will be fine.

BEE (Brenda)
