I have dealt with anxiety/depression for about 20 yrs. off and on. About 4 yrs. ago it creeped back up on me, so after many Dr. visits, MANY tests I was told again that it's panic attacks/depression. Have even changed Drs. who had me tested for numerous problems, there was a small node on my thyroid gland but said we would keep an eye on it. Passed a stress treadmill with flying colors but still have some heart palps, LOTS of sweating, cannot stand to be out in the heat (I am afraid I won't be able to breathe), but can work out at the gym just fine..Right now I am dizzy, eyes are goofy and I just ache all over my body. Am seeing a psychologist (saw him 15 yrs. ago) and he is helping me some, told me to take a vitamin B complex which is a rice bran soluble mixture so am trying that, along with effexor, diltiazem (for heart palps, lipitor, and alprazolam. Lord I am so sick of feeling like this and nothing seems to help. Are they missing something ??? I do smoke about 1/2 pack a day but my only vice (bad enough I know) but don't drink and do try to excercise and eat right. Any ideas out there ?

Thanks in advance for talking with me, feeling pretty bummed out right now and could just go climb in bed..chest is aching, back is hurting, blah, blah..Just heard today a dear friend has cancer in his ribs..so sad..

God Bless you all !!!
