HI im new to this site and to psych stuff have been reading over some of my Mother-Inlaws old Psych books she is a psych nurse thought about asking her this question but i dont want to bug her with this stuff (she is so sweet) . My Dr (a very small Town Doc) said that i might have a Anxiety problem and gave me Lexapro to help me sleep at night , was wondering if Anxiety give you a very bad rash and bubbles on the skin or could make you see things and hear things that no one els can see/hear well not sure how to say this :/ not used to talking about it .. My Dad's Doc (he seems smart) as given my dad less then a year to live he has Crossus of the liver (no i cant spell it rigth) my family is my friends and my dad is one of my best friends if you dont mind please keep my dad in your prayers thank you and God bless

Yes, anxiety can make you hallucinate. It can do a lot of things that aren't just physical symptoms.

Sorry to hear you are going through this...it must be really hard for you.

i'm so sorry that you're having such a hard time right now.

a thought..did you hallucinate before or after you started the Lexapro? the reason i am curious is because a new med, for me, causes me to have horrible dreams.......

your dad will be in my thoughts and i'm sending positive vibes to help you deal with all you are burdened with right now. xoxoxo ethel/pat

Welcome again. Yes, worry can be at the root of all types of physical reactions. That seems to be alot of things to be anxious about, imo.

Welcome to PC! I am so sorry to hear about your dad. I have to agree with what others have said. I think anxiety and stress can definitely manifest physical issues. I tend to hear things that others don't when I have panic attacks.

I stoped taking lexapro about 5 days ago Note if you are thinking of doing this DO NOT QUITE COLD TURKEY! but have been quite so not starting back ..

I really don't think anxiety can make you see/hear things. I've spoken to many, many doctors about this (hallucinating is one of my fears, after all.), read many books... All of them say it's impossible.

However, anxiety does make your senses extremely sensitive, so much so that a noise someone would normally pay no attention to would seem very loud to you. Noises louder, lights brighter, spots in your eyes (or 'floaters') seem more like 'shadows'.

Who knows.

Hi Prayergirl and welcome to PC...Your father is in my prayers and so are you...I really think you should tell someone about the mind stuff that's happening to you...if not in your own hometown maybe another town or even the closest city if you can...please be safe and take care...

I didnt know that Anxity makes your senses extremely sensitive thats why when i feel stress i see more floaters ( i all ways thought that was odd but knew it was my eyes ) and i can hear better thats good to know
and thank you for your prayers my dad realy needs them right now and so does my family .. and on the mind stuff have to wait till my new health insurance goes though and need to find a doc who knows his/her stuff my doc is only good for a cold or for refulling meds ..is there any one who has been to a Doc about this kind of stuff that could tell me just what they do ? have never see a doc about this and am worry about what might happen . any one know what kind of meds they give you for this stuff was on lexapro but it didnt work right for me (am scared of meds after that will be researching any meds from now on ) but i did find something that works for me might for others too is going to sound crazy but it works WHITE SAGE TEA WORKS BETTER THEN LEXAPRO would not have belived it could worked but tryed it and it did makes you feel clame and relaxed helps you sleep too and you dont feel sick in the morning when you wake up is eazy to make too for sleeping get 3 dried white sage leafs you can get these online or from a herb or indian (indian as in Amarican indian )shop and crush them up put them in the bottom of your coffee cup add some honey too makes it tast better. boil about as much water (or tea tasts better ) as your cup will hold then pour your water(or tea) over the white sage leafs wait 10mins befor drinking , the web site i got this off of said not to drink any more the 1 cup (with 3 leafs in it) for 24 hours but you can break that down and make that 1cup 1 leaf for stress .. just remember 2 or 3 will make you sleepy. you can add stjohns wort to it too you can get that from wal-mart I add just one capsule to mine.
