>i feel dizzy, with body buzz like that comes and goes.I get pains in my chest right above my left breast left arm feel weird as well, i find it hard to breathe, doc does say that i have depression and panic attacks, Are these attacks (feelings) all in my mind or is ther a chance of really havin a heart attack or stroke, p.s. i took my self of effexor and syptoms are worst
this sounds a lot like a panic attack; i really really think you shouldnt be worried about a heart attack or stroke, the symptoms do not fit. your symptoms are worse since stopping the effexor- thats another indication that this is anxiety. are you on any other meds? why did you stop taking the effexor? i dont think that its "all in your mind", either- anxiety produces strange sensations- and they ARE caused by real physiological arousal. you arent imagining them, or going crazy. i really hope you see your doctor very soon; have you told him/her that you stopped your meds?
i'm sorry, i know how scary it can be.
do you have anyone to talk to about it? thats very important i think. this board is also a good place, i hope you feel free to share whatever else is on your mind.
keep us updated.
