I wondered if anyone had had ny similar experiences as this and if they know of any supplements, therapies or procedures that can help. My problems began over a month ago with a sensation of movement (Often spinning or swaying) in the back of my head (Vertigo?). This was accompanied by feelings of anxiety and insomnia. Over the next month the vertigo got worse, I became agitated all the time, started having panick attacks and several other symptoms including poor memory, spaced feelings, feelings of un-reality, numb face and headaches and sore neck. I have been to the docs and told I have labyrinthitis and given Stemetil to control the vertigo which does work to some degree.. However, my anxiety is still really bad and the symptoms get worse throughout the day. In the morning I can feel fine but by the evening I'm a complete mess. I have wondered if GABA may help to control the anxiety but I believe the anxiety is a symptom of the illness and not that the anxiety is causing the illness (Although there could be a feedback mechanism going on) At the worst I was completely bed ridden and although I am slightly better now I have still not recovered enough to return to work or be left on my own at night. Any similar stories, advice or recomendations would be greately recieved.
