Hi Byrone,
I am also a health anxiety sufferer. I wont go into the whole story, you would fall asleep and write me off as crazy, haha, but in short, I had a health scare about 9 months ago, and ever since i have been insanely worried about my health. It never used to cross my mind, and now its an everyday struggle.
Im in a bad place at the moment, about three weeks ago, i got out of bed to discover i had a really sore heel. it got progressively worse over a few days and the scariest thing is the lump i now have on the bottom of my foot and i went to the Doc, he said he thought i must have injured it and gave me some anti inflams and sent me on my way, x ray was all clear, pain went away but the lump has stayed and im petrified of it. My brain is telling me its cancer and this is the beginning of the end.
Did you find medication helped you? I have contemplated starting it a few times, to see if it helps. ANything has to be better than killing myself off in my own head over something new every few weeks. Im tired.
Sorry I cant be of help about the medication withdrawal. Hopefully you feel less alone.
