Anxiety Support Group
Anxiety is a physical condition marked by intense and persistent feelings of distress, fear, angst or dread. General anxiety caused by routine day-to-day stresses usually passes quickly and is experienced by almost everyone at one time or another. However, such feelings that linger over time and are very difficult to cope with, and which lack a clear cause, may indicate...
I am refreshing the last thread I posted in for it was several years old.
For about a month now I been suffering from intense anxiety and panic attacks and insomnia.
I always had anxiety to an extent but not to where i go to dr. but the past month it been off the chain. i started waking up at night startled and i would fly out of bed, sometimes hallucinating. i do not think it apena for it was "sudden" change like the anxiety was "sudden" \
My anxiety and panack attacks led to such insomnia i went to the ER twice in 48 hrs. the ER dr had to give be double dose of xanax to sleep finally.
one of my er trips was due to a bad reaction to celexa. I got dizzy to point of fainting ( again anxiety)
I can not help but notice that my misery started the day I started to get sick with ear/sinus infection and escalated when on augmentin then leviquin when augmentin did not work. that is 17 days on antibiotics. I have 4 more days on leviquin should i stop? I read the typical sinus dosage is 5-10 days and they gave me 14 day supply today was day 10 so I am thinking of stopping it sonce the ER dr mentioned i was over perscribed.
How common is it for these drugs to cause extreme panic attacks and anxiety?

Antibiotics do put a certain amount of stress on the body.
Unless I was experiencing life-threatening side-effects, I would complete the course. It's only a few more days.
You should call your doctor if you have concerns.
The normal regimen for antibiotics is about a week. I would listen to the ER doctor, and then I would call my doctor and talk to him about what was said. Taking antibiotics causes resistant bacteria that no longer responds to antibiotics.
The best thing to do is to get off drugs and change the diet so that one no longer gets sick. And if a person gets an infection, there are natural ways to help the body fight it off. Like vitamin C.

Here are a bunch of free lectures by Dr John McDougall. I was listening to him yesterday and he has sound advice. As a medical doctor in Hawaii, he got to see firsthand and connect diet to health, and he lectures medical doctors about their practices, about prescribing drugs that don't work in many cases. For example, no one has even been cured of diabetes with diabetic drugs. All the drugs do is manage the symptoms.

Doctors do not cure diabetes, heart disease, headaches, hypoglycemia, arthritis, asthma, high blood pressure, colitis, lupus, etc. All they do is give you drugs to try to manage the symptoms. And those drugs have side effects, which they give you another drug to treat.
Dr McDougall has a free program for regaining your health.

Dr Joel Fuhrman is another medical doctor who has recognized that things need to change in this country. His website is full of information and you can find out more about nutritional excellence.
Here is an article about food nutrient density. Green leafy vegetables are superb sources of nutrition, and actually have more protein than steak, when measuring per calorie, which is really the sane way to measure, and not by weight.
