Recently diagnosed with RRMS, 4 spinal and 3 brain lesions.
I find I have spells of an hour to all day, where severe anxiety and depression descend. Then suddenly it will lift.
It seems to have no relation to my thoughts or activities...feels very much like something related to MS rather than anything psychological.
Conversely, I will have enjoyable periods where I am very calm and happy for hours for no good reason, almost like someone had given me a tranquilizer. Very odd, and didn't happen to me before MS.
I am already on Prozac and feel it works well for me, but these sudden spells of doom are not much fun.
Anyone else experience this? If so, is there anything you have found that makes it more bearable or helps it go away?
Thank you for reading this post and for any help you might be able to give.
