I'll try not to ramble but be clear at the same time.
Im 34 and have anxiety/depresion my whole life. FYI my
8 yr old is dx with ADHD, Dyscalculia, anxiety disored
and now she is thinking even possibly Asperger/NCLD!!
Back to me, Last summer I started "overbreathing" I
cannot seem to get a good deep breath. Been the the ER
and said its anxiety. Finall after months of this
dibiliting(SP) breathing. Oy ya, I cannot tolerate any
of the SSRI's)neck jaw rigidity> Although, I
emotionally felt great after four days of the effexor I
had to stop(37.5mg) The psychiatrist put me on serzone
now up to 200mg daily and .05 of zanax. The great news
is NOTHING has changed. I called the DR and just doesnt
get it> anyway,This symptom of breathing is not only
horrible it feels like i'm @#$$$ drowning!!!! He was
VERY reluctant to put me on the zanax because my father
is an alchololic. I AM NOT, have never abused alchohol
or drugs. I've called him 2 times and told him I am
still breathing VERY badly every second of my waking
hours except when its 10 at night and the whole house
is quiet, and thats when he upped the serzone but not
the zanax. IM SO DESPERATE I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!!
Ive tried breathing tecq, walking, hot looooong baths
you name it!!! PLEASE ANY ADVICE?
