Can anyone relate to this? ... I often feel physically weak, almost like I'm anemic or something, but if I push myself I'm always able to run a mile or do something strenuos, bu then after I still feel weak again. My medical doctor says I'm physically very healthy, and both he and my psy doc says it's either my anxiety or depression. I take Lexapro everyday and Xanax as needed, and I notice that after I take the Xanax that I actually feel a little better (as in not so physically weak) ao then I'm guessing it's my anxiety that's the cause but it sure feels like depression. Makes me wonder what Lexapro is doing for me, both my doctors insist I stay on it because they say it's a very good medication and will pay off in time (but I've been on it for 6 months now at 30mg). Maybe the feeling of physically weakness is all in my head as an incorrect belief that I've ingrained in my brain as an OCD-assumption-obsession? Or maybe it's a symptom of my depression (but then why would Xanax be so helpful for it?)
thanks all
