Outlaw,
If your doctor says that there is no physical evidence of heart concerns then you are going to have to take control of your symptoms. You may have to see a doctor that focuses and specializes with your symptoms. Ask your doctor if he/she will refer you to counseling.
In the meantime, please use our Panic Program to the left of this screen. If you need any help with getting started please post here in the support group or e-mail us at support@paniccenter.net.
Hang in there; we will be with you every step of the way!

xanax is pretty much for an immediate fix when you are feeling panicky. You sound like you need something else that will build up in your system and work long term. Is there nothing else your doctor has recommended since the meds you've already tried have too many side effects? Not sure what kind of side effects you are having but if they aren't life threating you may have to weigh your options.
Decide whats worse, the side effects or the constant anxiety.
i see a shrink onece a month...ive been on xanax .5 4 times a day....ive tried zoloft to paxil effexor remoeron celexa,buspar a few more side effects were terrible plus i just got a new job..on the loading dock im scared im going to die its terrible..so right now im in a catch 22 at 24 years old i guess..
Hi~
Try to believe your Dr. if he says you are fine. My heart races to 112 sometimes when I'm anxious. The more you fret about it, the more it will beat. Anxious people are very sinsitized to bodily functions, therefore making it seem worse than it really is. Try to relax and not pay too much attention to your heart. Don't take your pulse either, that will make you worry more. Good Luck!
