I am not a doctor, but it seems to me after having taken so many pills and only being off them for 2 months, you might be having rebound anxiety. That can make you feel awful. Since you basically have a clean bill of health, but are still have distressing symptoms (which all sound like they can be anxiety/stress related), maybe ask a qualified physician about the effects of taking so many different pills and then stopping them all. Ask how long the symptoms will last, when should you expect to feel better, etc.

Take care and good luck!

Since June of 2011 i have been having bad headaches, blurry visions, shoulder and back (upper and lower) pain.

I have seen a number of doctors and they all are so quick to jump to the conclusion that its either depression, anxiety, stress or bipolar. (I don’t know if they are right or its a medical condition that i have)

I have been taking medications and pills like Xanax, Lexapro,Lexotan, Epilim, Fluoxetine, Atarax, Tripta and Amitriptyline. And the worse part is that i have been popping these pills like candy on a daily basis for months till i got fired from my last job because i was always in a zombie like state and i was always sleepy and i can’t concentrate on my work and always felt down because of the medications.

I have stopped all forms of medications for about two months now and i am only taking multi-vitimans. I have gone for my heart examinations, blood test, x-rays and MRI and they all were normal except for mild fatty liver. I have seen a hypnotherapist and he said that i have a mild case of anxiety and that is common.

My daily symptoms are headaches, faint feelings and dizziness (like a roller coaster dipping down), blurry visions (which starts a few hours after i am awake from sleep and lasts the whole day), tightness on the neck (especially on the back of the neck) and the ongoing shoulder and back pain. The only good thing is that my blood pressure is normal.

I really would love to know if my sickness is due to anxiety or is it a medical condition… Please help me.

Thank you and God Bless

Thank you for the comment. I’m sorry your son is suffering and it sounds like you are a wonderful, loving mom. Here is a post you should read that may give you some insight into your predicament:
Panic Attacks in Children. The same principles that apply to a younger child usually apply to an older child – but the older child, who has the words to describe what is happening, may be reluctant to share with their parents. Hope this helps. -Jill
