What is going on with me? Help/advice please

[Sams3Boys]

I don't know what's wrong with me.

I had the Mirena inserted on Friday, so I don't know if it is related or not. After reading all the possible side effects, I am leaning towards not.

Last night, I laid in bed for hours unable to sleep. I had the urge to flap my arms, I just could not be still. It was very, very scary. I felt really strange, I don't even know how to describe it. I kicked and flapped for a good 2 hours before I could go to sleep.

This morning I felt better at first. Now I am at work and I cannot quit moving. I feel foggy, which could be from the lack of sleep. I just feel very, very strange, I feel confused.

Yesterday was also the 1 year anniversary of dh's near fatal motocycle accident, so it was a high anxiety day.

I am at work. and I just don't know what I should do. Call the doctor? Attribute it to lack of sleep and last night was just a fluke and forget it? Could anxiety drive all this? I have had anxiety attacks before, but never anything like this that is ongoing.

Thanks!

Sounds awful! Anxiety can be really powerful. I'd call the Dr. Hope you feel better soon!

Sorry you're going through that! Ask the Dr.

I almost got the mirena a few weeks back - but after reading about the side effects & realizing it was almost identical to the effects I had on the patch, I passed.

I have no idea about the Mirena. Ive never used it.

But when I am having alot of anxiety, I tend to lay in bed and wiggle and squirm. When I start to have a panic attack and I think I am literally dying, I tend to have to move around alot because I know that if Im moving, Im not dead. I know that makes no sense whatsoever, but that is just what my anxiety does to me. Thankfully it is under control now, with the help of Effexor.

If this is something that keeps happening to you, I definitely think you should give your doctor a visit.

It does sound like anxiety to me.

I don't know a thing about the Mirena so I may not be too helpful. I've got restless leg syndrome and that causes my legs to flap and move, but I've never experienced arm stuff. That would almost make me wonder if it's something neurological. Your mother and father didn't or don't have Huntington's Disease,right?

I am sorry you are having scary symptoms..I'd be calling the doctor , yes. I've got an anxiety disorder and it's never made me flap, but maybe it's different for everyone.

I'm not sure but it could be the marina everyone reacts diffrently. My friend got it and felt yuky for like 6mo. But call the doc!

Thanks for the advice.

I went to the doctor and started a new anxiety med. I took a Valium and slept for about 3 hours and I do feel better now. I am a little scared of a repeat of last night.

WTB - I felt like I was dying or going to or something last night. It was bad, really bad. I just wanted to make it stop. I have struggled with anxiety for years now.

I should have added earlier that I am already on 150 mg of Zoloft.

My son it named Caden also. I thought it was a name no one had ever used but would be able to say. Found out a week after he was born that it was popular! :(

I am so sorry about your DH's near fatal motorcycle accident. My moms boyfriend had two sons that were killed on a motocycle and he can't stand to hear a motorcycles at all and can not watch movies with motorcycles in it.

I can relate to the anxiety. I have to take Xanax. I hope you can get a diagnosis and get it fixed. T&P's going your way. :hug:
