What could this be? Shaky, tingly, difficulty eating

[holdmecloser08]

I just started taking medication for anxiety and depression 3 weeks ago.  For over 6 months, I've had these symptoms: tingly feeling in my fingers and all over my body, feeling weak, brain fog, unable to concentrate, feels like my heart is beating fast for no reason at all, I'm super hungry but nothing sounds good. Sometimes when I try to eat it takes a really long time for me to relax in order to eat without gagging, spitting out the food, and to actually swallow the food without feeling sick.  I just did a blood test for thyroid and will get the results next Tuesday. I've been taking a stimulant called Focalin XR for a couple years for extreme daytime sleepiness ( narcolepsy) before that I was on concentra. Before that focalin, before that adderall and the first one I took was nuvigil. Focalin seems to work the best however, I cannot rember how I was before all this medication. It has only gotten worse. The medication for anxiety and depression has helped slightly. I've been on it for a little over 3 weeks I think. But the racing heartbeat is still there and I still feel like I don't know how to explain it. Sometimes I can eat just fine but usually it's difficult and I have to just reassure myself im okay and just try to chew and swallow it. It's annoying. It's becoming an everyday thing now and I don't know what to do. I'm seeing my psychiatrist next week. Another doctor the week after to talk about eating and upset stomach. I had all these symptoms before the anxiety meds by the way. And I was doing fine for about 3 days last week wth eating and then now I'm back to this crap again. Maybe I ate breakfast too late. I take my anxiety pill with Zantac at breakfast but the last couple of days I've had breakfast quite late so maybe that's it? Idk.

I'd get into therapy first and give it a try, but the Zantac sounds odd to me.  You don't describe any problems that would treat, and taking it regularly will make any acid problems worse as the stomach tries to compensate by making even more acid.  And I don't understand taking it with a meal.  You do want to limit your meds to ones that actually help your situation.  Obviously, taking stimulants will make an anxiety sufferer have a worse time of it, so that's an issue as well.
