Body NumbnessI have been experiencing numbness, hands, legs, face, arms for over a year now. MRI normal. Doctor insists that it is stress and that I need anti-depressants none of which I like to take. I like Xanax that he had me take several years ago for a violent act that happened to me. He says Xanax is too addicting but yet he let me take for years before and I had taken myself off. I do have alot of stress in my life is it possible that it can really cause all of this numbness. Amitriplyne helped the numbness but made me too tired and awful dry mouth. He wants me to try Wellbutrin but according to the internet if you suffer any renal dysfunction you should not take, I have suffered with constipation problems all of my life. He had given me Serzone and I found out on my own that if taken with Propulsid you could have heart failure. I confronted him yesterday with this and he gave me the WellbutrinSR, which I did not take after looking on the Internet. Should I seek a second opinion, the top of my right leg (femur bone) was swollen and I could hardly walk and that is why I went to him yesterday. He did not even look, and insisted that stress was going to eventually cripple me. He did order x-rays upon my persistence. I would love to hear from you.
