I very frightened and the cardiologist does not recognize my reactions he thinks its anxiety and by God I know it is not it is anything but organic anxiety.
I am freaked out and I won?t go into the doctors at all I?m frozen. After all that I have been canceling my appointment and waiting it out. I don?t know what happened to my brain and why this is happening. I?m afraid if I need medication when I am older I won?t be able to. I don?t even know if I will ever become an older person now. I don?t have any anxieties or depression, never had depression but if I have to go to see a doctor I freeze I can?t its a nightmare.
What would you do?
If you're going to edit your post to remove any sort of information on what happened and how, we can't help you.
Anxiety can produce a pretty wide spectrum of physical maladies, if you feel even mildly upset at your situation it's worth considering anxiety/nocebo. You can't rule them out for sure without blind testing (or some simple tricks, e.g. effects that appear instantaneously after dosing medication rather than taking 15-30 mins to hit are one sign, effects that don't seem to line up with the drug's duration of effects etc...).
Also, not to belittle you or anything, but PTSD is a little more involved than "I had a bad response to some medication and the doctors were mean to me". Usually the stressors are a little more "life and death".
Well I would have to disagree. But I am not surprised at the answer. Many people get akathisia from other sources and chronic lasts for up to 6 months. I found out it was akathisia by my 4th time. And I would have to disagree with you on the anxiety claim or to go back on benzos which over time is not good for anyone. Its funny you get hurt by a medication and the only "help" is to further hurt them. I am seeing one and was traumatized by a drug reaction and no help. The PTSD is caused by how I was ignored and treated.
