human
I have bad panic attacks so I take gabapentin and amirtypline I think its spelled. I have had a rash for the past week on my cheeks, back,arms etc. I think my blood pressure is high because my cheeks are hot. Also I feel weak and dizzy. I don t know if that s just because the anxiety is kicking in or what. Please help.
