Thanks everyone for the advice and well wishes.

Interesting article Mokey. I'm going to go back and read it some more. I just wanted to mention that she is saying it is definitely a physical response caused by the overloading creating an anxiety response which pulls all the blood away from the brain to allow a fight or flight. When the blood is pulled away the confusion sets in and the brain "shuts down".

One answer would be to avoid all situations that cause this.. and believe me I'm trying but EVERY attempt to leave the house or try something new is causing this reaction and it's getting stronger and stronger. We need to retrain the brain that these are not Scary things I'm doing and that it does not require a flight/fight response. Kind of like Vestibular therapy training where you're teaching your body that it does not need to be dizzy in this situation.

I have also been having more moodiness to the point my husband has said he's had enough and talked about leaving. Something needs to be done. I can't seem to move forward on my own. I'm doing meditation, what little exercise I can on the stationary bike, and using cognitive therapy techniques but it's just not enough.

I think if I didn't have the eye problems and dizziness I would be able to exercise more and wouldn't have as much overstimulation and dizziness. Hopefully when those are all better I can come off the medication again.

Thanks again for all the support. You guys are my biggest support and I don't know what I would do without you all!
