When I turned 40, I started having problems with anxiety, heart palpatation and numbness in my left side. My doc thought I might have MS, so he sent me to a neurologist (he happened to be in the top 10 in the nation)...so he really knew his stuff. My MRI was normal and I was supposed to come in for more tests after my vacation. BUT...during vacation I started having panic attacks and difficulty breathing. After my 2nd visit, he diagnosed me with chronic anxiety and put me on Pamelor (Nortriptyline). I went up to 30 ml and it worked great...was on it for a year and then stopped. My problems were the result of early menopause...but the neurologist was a Godsend...just be sure you get a good one.
