I was diagnosed around 2006-2007 with anxiety. I had my head start twisting where I couldn't control it or even stop it. They did all kinds of test and that's when diagnosed with anxiety. They put me on zanex and I took for about year and half. Then I lost insurance so never went back to get filled and I was feeling fine so thought maybe got over. I have for last 6 months or longer have been having real bad emotional and depression issues. Have even thought of harming myself but have controlled it. It is getting worse though.
