Glad you are able to get out and about, despite the problems.

Glad you are able to get out and about, despite the problems.

The biggest danger would be becoming agoraphobic. By learning how what I have works I was able to adapt to it. If I want to go somewhere then I will go but sometimes I take an extra pill beforehand. They initially diagnosed it as General Anxiety Disorder and PTDS. About a year or two after onset I found a book where a Neurologist was linking it and a lot of ADD ADHD type symptoms to Vestibular Disorders and sensory processing damage related to it. After I put my foot down on the shrinks and told them no more antidepressants it stopped getting worse but won't get no better.

A low dosage of Xanax 3-4 times a day keeps it in check. They didn't like prescribing that at all though LOL. The Xanax controls my seizure activity considerably and is very fast acting if they hit while I'm out somewhere. Not a single thing they told me about what Xanax would do to me as happened in over 16 years using it.

My wife has to take it also for anxiety. It has never harmed her and like me she takes a low dosage. Antidepressants nearly killed her twice though. They can do things to you that you could not imagine. An adverse reaction to SSRI's can lead to Serotonin Syndrome. I saw it happen to my wife twice and missed by six doctors at two area hospitals. I caught it myself looking up the meds vs symptoms.
