Suggest Treatment For Chronic Anxiety

I am a 31 yr old male I used to be healthy for almost over a month now. I had an anxiety attack (first time), I wasn t able to sleep, heart rate is high and blood pressure and eat a lot, lets say I became weak and lose weight, afterer that week I started eating right and probably slowly gaining my sleep from o,2,almost 6..I do feel okay with my issues behind my anxiety, however I was urinating a lot , I feel everything I drink is going out. My doctor gave me levaquin,Hystatin,medrol and benzonatate. I have vistaril and halcion at night, and wellbutrin durjng the day, for my anxiety 2 weeks earlier, means ive been urinating a lot for 2 weeks. I followed my additional instruction for the medroland others. I swear that probanly on the 1st day I took antiobiotics that I dont urinate frequently and im not dehydrated. However the following day I experience anxiety again kot worrying on past issues but now its my body km worrying I lost 10 lbs in a month and mu muscles were gone, I know I can make it for the weight but I feel a little electricity started on my feet all over the body and mu thrush went back again. I dont know what to do now if the electrixity and weakness of my leg is from anxiety or disease????

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi, thanks for the query & I am sorry to hear about your current state of plight. All of your symptoms including electric shock like sensations, excessive urinating, feelings of increased blood pressure, heart rate etc. are manifestations of anxiety symptoms. When excessive, these symptoms increase suddenly to a crescendo causing Panic attacks where a person feels he/she is surely going to die.Assuming that organic conditions like heart disease. respiratory aliments have been ruled out; lets try & decipher your anxiety episodes. Are they situational (occurring in response to a particular situation/thought) or occur at any time? any aggravating or relieving factors for anxiety?? Your current drug regimen Welbutrin (Bupropion) is not a good choice to treat anxiety symptoms as it paradoxically increases/worsens anxiety. There are many effective drugs like Escitalopram, sertraline, paroxetine (SSRI drugs) which shall help to reduce anxiety in long run while in short term; anxiolytics like clonazepam, etizolam etc. will help abort these anxiety attacks. Lastly do practice Yoga & Prananyama as these help to achieve a state of relaxation. Hope this helps. Good Luck
