Cocaine Induced Anxiety Disorder...which swiy's have it?
swim appears to have it. swim has been abstinent for 3 months and still has anxiety in the form of:
worrying about health
concentrating on heart beating in abdomen
checking pulse or blood pressure from time to time
slightly hypochondriac
panic attacks (only about once a month currently as compared to every couple of days 3 months ago)
swim has only ingested 15-20 grams of cocaine in his life. swim ingested this amount over a 1 to 1.5 year period and it was almost always with alcohol. swim is 22 years old.
swim does a lot of running and weight lifting and cardio workouts but still this anxiety remains. It is important to note that 3 months ago, the anxiety was MUCH MUCH worse. swim wasnt eating, or working out, and it was hard for swim to function in general. things have gotten better but the anxiety symptoms listed above are still in effect...just not quite as bad as it used to be. swim went to a cardiologist 3 months ago and the echocardiogram and EKG were normal.
anyone here have the same problems...or had the same problems...what did swiy do about it? full details please.
currently swim has not taken any medication for the anxiety and doesnt want to.
