Hello Michelle,
Really sorry to hear you are having a tough time. I am not trying to down play your physical ailments but it sounds like to me your anxiety/stress is causing alot of your physical ailments. I have an anxiety disorder with panic attacks and before I was medicated I developed acid reflux, gastritis, and I lost like 10-15lbs in a month from not eating because anxiety level was soooo high. However, when I started on Celexa and later switched to Lexapro which I am currently on now and noticed that many of my physical ailments got alot better! I am presently taking lexapro and have been for almost a year now and it has worked very well for me with no side effects. Lexapro is a really good medications for anxiety and depression and has very few side effects. Good luck and keep us updated! We are all here for you!
