I was addicted to ephidrine (mini thins) & cold medicines,then it started with my BP going up & i'd look up symptoms on the internet about certain medicines the dr put me on & then be=gin to get them myself.One day my BP went to high,I think cuz of anxiety I quit everything,the cold med,etc & also afraid even to smoke cigarettes so I quit that too.After not getting answers at 1 dr I changed drs ,got so sick,flu symptoms daily had to quit work,I worked in a nursing home so when i saw those ppl i freaked thinking i'd get whatever they had,etc,i'm currently on paxil 40 mg & feeling better,but eating like a horse ,any thoughts , Are you on anything now? Thx For talking with me....My mom has anxiety & depression too so i dont know if its inherited or both that & med? Feel like i'm being punished cuz of all those drugs sometimes,think my body went in shock.Chris...38/F/MO
