So, I’ve been struggling with some pretty awful physical symptoms of anxiety for a while. I’ve seen a therapist for 6 months with nothing really to talk about—well nothing that’s bothering me of late except the physical symptoms. 

The symptoms include, random pains throughout my body, random contractions, squeezing sensation headache. 

*The worst symptom was not being able to feel the satisfaction of taking a deep breath. Constant choking. * 

SSRI’s had 0 effect. 

So I tried Wellbutrin, which within 2 days completely vanquished every physical symptom, including the breathing symptom. 

So I tried just a NRI. The same effect. 

Is it possible that all my anxiety that has been torturing me for the last year was just a problem with norepinephrine? My dad has strange adrenal problems…
