Hello,
I have been away from the boards for a long time......been doing pretty well.....depression is pretty much gone since I came OFF all the AD meds....I still take Klonopin 3 times daily at .05 a pill. My daughter was diagnosed with Lupus Nephritis class 4(full kidney failure) in may and she is 14. Been thru 7 months of Chemo, streroids and tons of other meds PLUS we have to travel from Ne to Chicago for her treatment. I did well with my anxiety and only a few really down days as I was so focused on her. Now she is doing much better YEA!! but I have been so dizzy, whoozy and panicky the last 2 weeks PLUS a major headache that radiates behind my left eye and makes my vision blurry.... It does not go away. I don't know if I should ask to up my Klonopin...I really do NOT want to try SSRI meds again as they made me depressed and crabby but I am anxious and crabby now........? plus I was always so dizzy on the smallest dose.....My Hubby just went on Lexapro and Xanax and doing great.....wish it was that easy for me....anyone have any suggestions aside from SSRI meds.....I know if I let this go I will be in full blown panic again soon...
Also I doNOT want to go thru the withdrawls I did getting off all the AD's .I felt so much better once they were out of my system....now this has happened! ugh!
THANKS!!

Hey there,
I think the first thing you need to do is see the doctor for the headaches and blurry vision. That would concern me more than the anxiety. Maybe it is from the anxiety, but it could also be from something else. High blood pressure, who knows, but you have to get that issue figured out above all else. Please see your doctor right away and take it from there.
Best wishes,
JB

Thanks for your reply..........i actually have a BP machine at home for my daughter and I have always has LOW BP.....it runs in the 90/60 range....I will call tomorrow but I just assumed they would tell me it is stress and anxiety...
