It's honestly so relieving knowing I'm not the only one who's been passed between doctors without a straight answer or a consistent solution. I've been put on a few mood stabilizers- I asked the doctor what in the world that meant and she told me I have anxiety. I actually do not have any form of anxiety until after those medications. I would be scared trying something like that again, but I haven't had any tranquilizers so I better give it a shot!
Thanks a lot @blessedwildapplegirl !!

You’re welcome. I have anxiety and doctors have occasionally tried to put me on mood stabilizers, but I refuse. I’ve heard horror stories about those drugs. And I hate it when doctors treat a physical complaint as if it’s psychological when it’s not. I’m not saying that emotions don’t affect our bodies because they do, but if you have something organically wrong, you need some kind of treatment. I do, however, take a benzodiazepine tranquilizer at night to help me sleep because I have insomnia. I’ve never had any issues with it, but I take as little as I possibly can. I hope a stomach tranquilizer will help you!
