Hi mrporter1,
thanks for your reply. Currently, I am taking EffexorXR, Lamictal, Seroquel, and yes, a benzo, Klonopin.
Finally, I see my pdoc in the am tomorrow, and I hope she listens. I will tell her what's been going on and someone suggested I print out the copy of my popst, so that's what I did:-)
I will show my pdoc.
I am thinking that this time around, Lamictal was added to my EffexorXR, when Effexor usually helps ALONE. I am thinking that the Lamictal may be decreasing the positive effects I get from taking the EffexorXR without this Lamictal-do you think?
A really good thought, I hope.
Thanks again,Kristen

If not - know with confidence that panic and anxiety will not hurt you. It feels terrible and is scary and feels like your body is broken and failing you- all part of what your body is SUPPOSED to do when it's faced with certain situations. Problem is sometimes (for those of us with panic/anxiety problems) it will detect danger when there isn't any.
