Sorry guys! I have been busy with work and child transport.(basketball)
I was referring to panic attacks: heart rate of 140. Sweating, chest pain. I had these for several years and was finally perscribed zoloft. This did help the panic attacks but did not help my depression and outbursts much. I started seeing another physican that decided I wasn't being treated for the correct diagnosis. So they changed my meds to effexor. This helps my depression but recently I have been having the panic attacks agian. The bad thing is, While i think this doctor is on the right track....she seems unsure of prescribing my .5 mg of xanax, of which I have had for the past 15 years. I only take it under these instances of heart rate increase.(this seems to be my clue a attack is on its way) I guess I was wondering if effexor really helps the anxiety, or is it just me?
