I feel stoned all the time
I'm not sure if I am posting this in the right section, but I'll give it a go.
I'm 29 years old, and live a fairly healthy life, besides my bad cigarette habit, which is on the top of my quit list. About a year ago, in what feels like a day, I started feeling bad; just not myself. It's really hard to explain. The best description I can come up with is I feel stoned all the time. I have dizzyspells, nausea, tired all the time, I have a hard time falling asleep, an even harder time waking up.
I have been diagnosed with anxiety, and depression, but I do not feel anxious or depressed (except now that I don't feel good ALL THE TIME I'm getting there). I am on xanax now as needed, and I feel like that is the only thing that helps me make it through the day. Depression meds make me loopy, so I am no longer taking them. I feel like the vision in my right eye has gone a little blurry since the last med. I get chest pains on and off but I don't think it's anything serious. I've also had swollen and red lower eye lids for probably a year now, so red and swollen they ache. It looks like today there are little bumps.
I have had an MRI, EEG, both came back normal. Many blood tests, (lupus, liver, glucose, thyroid) all came back normal. I've recently started taking Candex because I read this feeling could be due to a yeast problem within my body. I don't think so, but at this point, I'm willing to try anything. My doctor has told me to see a neurological opthamologist, so I've scheduled an appointment, but they can't see me until the end of July. I can't wait that long to get back to my normal self. Other than that, my doctor is making me feel like it is all in my head. Any suggestions at all would be really appreciated.
Thank you for your time.

Did you ever get a diagnosis? I'm struggling with the exact same symptoms and just got back from the ER with all those same test run and all blood test exceptional. Just curious
