> > 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 Thanks for your replies...Lisa and Levi(cool name)
> Wel my hub called him from work expressing his concern that his wife has been still hyperbreathing. BYW- hub is an attorney and he when Dr. called him back the secretary answered he phone, "broome County Atorneys Office" So, of course he wanted to see us IMMEDIATELY. Unfortunatly, he was doing rounds at the psych. ward. THSI TOTALLY FREAKED ME OUT!!!!!! So there i was surrounded by in-patients walking around like well you can imagine!!!! VERY SCARY!!! Had a good talk with him and AGAIN asked my hub if I were a "closet drinker" again we denied it neither one of us do. I hope he believes us now!!! Anyway, He upped my sezone to 300mg per day and 1 mg pf zanax 3 times a day basically doupled both soooooo we'll see!
> Thanks again
I lucked on to this site.. Have been trying to find a reason why I am
always trying to "catch a deep breath". I was on zoloft for 4 yrs for
depression , then was switched to serzone to help restore my sex life.
I take 200 mg/day. Only in the last 3 weeks have I had this breath
problem. I switched to serzone in June. So now you know you are not alone
but I like you felt like "drowning" or suffocating. Even during my workouts on
the treadmill, I often have to stop to try to catch my breath--but find it
very difficult if at all. I will go back to my psychiatrist I have been seeing
for 1 month and ask her about the xanax.
