Mental health/health anxiety crisis!

i don’t really know if this is in my head but I really suffer health anxiety anyway, but I’ve been on only 10mg amitriptyline for 5 years, I have decided to come off it. With it only being a small amount my gp said it was ok to come straight off and not wean off.
well it’s been 5/6 days now and my brain feels foggy, my anxiety is up the wall I keep convincing myself every ache/pain and I’m dying.
its putting me in a really bad place right now! I just want to lay in bed when I have a husband and 2 children.
if I see a mark on my body im google reverse imaging it. I really need some help😔

Everyone is different OP, some people wouldn't get any withdrawal symptoms at that dose but it looks as though you are. I would go back on them and then when you are in a better place mentally if you want to come off them again, I would do it gradually.

its like are my symptoms from side effects of coming off my tablets or is my anxiety trying to tell me something. I’m really struggling 😞
