HI

This post will be a bit all over the place. I just don't know what's wrong with me.

I have been pretty well for half a year now.

Got diagnosed with severe anxiety and depression last year and started on meds.

They kicked in nicely and I can function fine at work and private,

Now had nausea for a while and vomiting and belly ache. Just went to docs having some tests done.I don't think its the meds causing it since i feel they agree with me over the last month.

Question is how can i be sure the symptoms i have are physical? Since i feel ok mentally does that mean the symptoms must me physical and there is something wrong with my tummy? Or can i feel ok mentally and anxiety and depression still produces symptoms even though i am on meds?

Any idea anyone?

Thanks for reading my 'all over the place post'

I think your doctor is probably best placed to answer the 'how can I be sure' question, but I've never experienced physical symptoms just popping up like a whack a mole game when your mental symptoms are controlled by medication. How long have you been feeling like this? Have you changed your diet or anything recently? Probably questions you've already been asked I know...
