How To Overcome The Anxiety Problem In A Crohn's Patient?
I'm a 27-year-old crohn's patient and I'm currently in a flare. I'm on remicade and currently am also taking apriso during this flared up time. I have major anxiety and take buspirone for anxiety and vicodin as needed for pain. I've been having intense symptoms the last few days of feeling very anxious, naursea, vomiting, nasty sewer taste in mouth, really fatigued. I'm nervous I may be pregnant but the last time I had sex was 5 days ago and before that I had none of these problems. I don't know f it's the medication or if I could be pregnant.

HI
Thanks for using healthcare magic
The symptoms, you have, are due to anxiety disorder and in that case, either you need higher dose of buspirone or should try another antidepressant. You can try some benzodiazepine that would keep you relax and calm. You can do relaxation exercise like JPMR also. For pregnancy, you can do urine pregnancy test.
Thanks
