> I am sensitive to cardiac concerns a part of my anxiety triggers but I am also aware when it is drug induced. My panics were the result of being overly afarid of death lost my brother when he was one from heart defects.
That's not altogether surprising. A lot of people who have panic attacks fear that they're having a heart attack or something.
> The cardiac symptoms i got from the other meds was mostly tachycardia in the middle of a dead sleep...it would wake me. I would take a xanax and boom back to normal.
That sounds like a nocturnal panic attack. Sinus tachycardia (a common side effect of ADs) isn't a serious arrhythmia, although it is unpleasant.
> I keep talking about xanax like it is some wonder drug....it has it's faults too.....just seems they are less than other.
I agree.
