In reply to how to stop hyper anxiety?, posted by alex01 on August 10, 2002, at 22:15:21
Hi,
The one thing I can think of which probably is off-the-wall, is migraines. This spring I took two doses of Adderall at the same time, and had a series of migraines start: visual disturbance and things just being off, a funny sense of pressure in my head (but NO headache), some numbness on my scalp, a little nauseated or queasy. Not all the symptoms every time. It made me anxious to have such a weird feeling. The eye thing took a really long time to improve (months) and a slight effect may be permanent. I went to a neuro-ophthamologist who said this was migraine. My regular doctor was suprised as I had no actual pain, but apparently migraines can occur without pain. Wimpy pills like ibuprofen and aspirin didn't help at all.
If it was migraine then a migraine-preventative would most likely help. Usually serotonin altering meds. Maybe try to get an appointment with a doc who could rule out migraine (an ophthalmologist or neurologist).
Just a thought. -- kate
