So I first started Zoloft about where to go after my mom was talking to my primary doctor about my social anxiety and how I was always afraid of everything and never wanted to go out afraid to do things on my own so she decided to put me on medication not knowing anything about medication I thought it would be okay. Well passport about 6-8 months or so on the medication I gained a lot of weight and so I switch primary doctors they did a basic blood test for a check up and it showed I was one point into the pre diabetic range. I freaked out and had my first ever panic attack that’s when I was diagnosed with health anxiety. After trial and error with different medications I was finally put on Effexor in fall 2019 it really helped my anxiety but I started noticing I was gaining weight again and I didn’t want to fall in the same hole of developing diabetes. So I came off that about six months after coming off I fell into a dark place again had a horrible panic attack anxiety was heightened for probably two months straight. So then I just said I need to go back on some thing so I went back on Effexor again came off because of the same thing a second time. And now I’m a month off. Since the past few days now I’ve been feeling horrible. I’ve been having frequent urination and tingling and burning in my legs feet and fingers. I went and saw my primary doctor about this and she ran in a couple tested bloodwork and a urine sample a couple times and said she highly thinks this is just anxiety and that I should go back on medicine whether it’s a new medicine or the same one again. I tried trintellix but I just can’t wait for it to start working so I asked my psychiatrist to go back on Effexor and I am starting it tomorrow. Today I’ve been feeling the worst I’ve ever been. I’m having frequent urination and still having the tingling and numbness in my legs feet and fingers. I went to the er they didn’t see anything wrong except slightly elevated blood sugar and sent me home and said to make an appointment with a neurologist. 

Do you think this could just be related to the medicine or to my anxiety? Before I was on any anxiety medicine at all I never felt like this at all I was perfectly healthy. So I don’t see why I can’t still be healthy then? I’m really nervous about this and I hope going on the Effexor again will help some if not all of these symptoms and it’s not an actual physical problem.
