    Sarcasm is not recognized by you?
    Your whole thread has been poor, poor pitiful me.

    You did some work on your Jeep and now you have some pain in your neck and some dizziness.
    Probably turned the wrong way at the right time.

    And off you are to the doc for pain meds and other meds for everything else you are feeling.
    This world is SO over-medicated.

    If driving relaxes you, maybe you should just chill a bit and drive around in your Jeep to relax you.

    It has been my experience that many of these things work themselves out over time, if you let it happen naturally.
    Trying to solve everything with drugs just introduces all the side effects and other complications that come with it.

    I feel nervous even touching my neck. I hurt my neck by just cleaning the undercarriage of my Jeep, an injured neck that had healed like 80% in 2.5 years. I will try Physical Therapy first

    There's some common over-the-counter medications that may help.
    Google will give a list.
    One is St. Johns Wort and there's others.
     
    Another Canadian driver and Rahat Thank this.

    Sir, right now I need powerful chemicals. There is no shame in that. I need to calm down. Otherwise I will get more miserable. It is not like I will stay on them forever. But for now I need them. I don't want to end up in a situation to do some mistake. I need some legal chemicals prescribed by a doc

    But for a short time I will put up with them. I need peace of mind. Do you think I have sex drive while anxiety is blowing up my chest?

    You know doctors go to school for practically a decade or more for some fields, right? The idea is you have a problem and you go to them looking for help. It is NOT, go to doctor in search of some pills your sister said were great or you saw on TV or your friend said whatever. They know more than you. Let them do what they are professionals at. You need psychotherapy. Their school is something like 12 years it is incredibly difficult/long process to get there. Are you really going to claim you know more than them? Do you ever think you are Jesus the savior? (That's a serious question)

    I'm glad you drove the whole length of 80. What does that have to do with driving a truck? About the same as an advertisement telling you to ask for their pills from your doctor.

    20230305_205259.jpg My anxiety got so bad ER did EKG on my heart and it was abnormal. Later they did ultrasound to make sure my heart was ok. Ultrasound was normal. Anxiety and fear suck, they can make EKGs abnormal.

    I am just scared. It was not some high speed accident or head trauma and spine fracture. I worked under my Jeep, twisted my neck and maybe my head mildly hit the frame, I don't remember exactly. Next day I was dizzy and in pain. If my neck heals and dizziness goes away, I will be the happiest man.
