Hi Guys,
Long story short I went to the GP months ago as I was getting strong symptoms of Anxiety, I'm quite an on-edge person in general. It was mainly dizzy spells similar to vertigo, Tightness in joints particularly in my neck and obviously the anxious feeling in the stomach. The other main sympton was my sleep (still is) horrendous, Takes hours to nodd off and by the time I do I get a couple of hours then I'm up at 7am for work. He said yeah it's Anxiety and did nothing, essentially told me it will pass.
6-8 months later it hasn't and I'm going back tomorrow. The problem is, Since then, I began sourcing diazepam myself. 10mg. I have built up quite a tolerance to where 1x10mg tab literally just makes me feel a bit tired and would help me doze off. It would take a good 4 or 5 to really feel the calming effects.
I have noticed recently though that I feel depressed, down about life in general etc and I'm starting to see that when I take a tablet say early on in work (NOT often, the odd day, literally about 3x in 6 months) I am extremely moody and my mood is so low, I think horrible thoughts and just want everything to be over.
Can this be down to the Diazepam? Could this be triggering depression and I need to inform my GP that I KNOW I have anxiety issues but need to try something else?
Thoughts welcome!
