Thanks lennon. So you have no symptoms now? I really don't see an end to this at the moment. Has anyone reading this experienced my symptons and got over it?

I don't have anymore symptoms or if it does come it's for a second. Once you find out exactly how anxiety causes it and how to deal with it, it doesn't take your life over anymore.

Thanks again lennon.

Did you need any meds to help you overcome your lightheaded/dizzyness?
I tried ssri anti-depressants but they made my dizzyness even worse. Most side effect of meds that I have seen have dizzyness as a side effect.
My doc wont give me valium as he said it will add to the problem as I wont want to come off it, so I suppose I can't get 'loaded' as bi polar put it.

I didn't use meds to get over anything with anxiety after I bought the book. Not that it's wrong to use them in the beginning when you're learning to cope with anxiety but I was tired of taking things to feel normal and was determined to get over anxiety without them. I used to drink a lot and take meds before the book but that was more for my other symptoms because I was more worried about the shaking and agoraphobia. I could still get those while sitting down and other people could see the shaking. The dizzyness pretty much has to do with wanting to be in control and the second you aren't, you focus on that feeling too much and if it will ever stop. That pretty much goes with anything anxiety has to offer. You'll get better.

Hi lennon

i have done a search for 'hope and help for your nerves by Dr. Claire weekes.' and all I get is an audio tape version. Is this what it is? You seem to describe it as a book.

There's a tape but I think that's more expensive. The book is cheap. I know over here you can get it on amazon. I don't know if you have that there or something similar but if the tape is all you can get then that's fine too. The book is just easier to look things up when you need to.

I had all those feelings, not being able to see broadway shows, go to restaurants, shopping, driving my car. For few years my life was so miserable. At the time I had two small children, in desperate need of my attention. My husband abused me emotionally and that's what created my anxiety. I became a child and my children 12 and 10 at the time were taking care of me. My husband used to come home and find me in bed with massive anxiety attacks. He kept telling me "stop feeling sorry for yourself, I can't believe i've married a looser" one day I went to see a nice neurologist, thinking I had a tumor in back of my head, because of the headaches I used to get, and if it wasn't my tumor it had to do with having a heart attack. Well it wasn't either. It was my as..H.. Husband doing it to me . He was very fat and insecure and he wanted to keep me there so when I was out with him people would wonder how can this fat fart be married to her? Well, the doctor prescribe lorazepan 5mg. At the time . I felt it as if it my mom. I was able to order my thoughts. Learn that there wasn't anything physically wrong with me. That i'm a beautiful, smart, generous woman and that he didn't deserve me. I have't taken a single one in ten years. I got rid of my husband and my ansiety at the same time. Yes it is possible to leave anxiety free and the other symptoms. Get ridd of what ever is causing you the ansiety, it may not be husband or wife, it can be your job, a person. A childhood bad experience, guilt and some other things. Please see a therapist and in no time at all you will feel like a million dollars. I assure you it can happen. I'm the perfect proof.

I love you all and you are not alone. All I wanted was to be happy. And i'm happy, very happy now and I wish all the same. Cheer up cookies, you can do it.

Lots of luck and most of all love yourselves very much.


I was there once. I'm here if you need me I will walk you thru.
