I'll try not to ramble but be clear at the same time.
Im 34 and have anxiety/depresion my whole life. FYI my 8 yr old is dx with ADHD, Dyscalculia, anxiety disored and now she is thinking even possibly Asperger/NCLD!!
Back to me, Last summer I started "overbreathing" I cannot seem to get a good deep breath. Been the the ER and said its anxiety. Finall after months of this dibiliting(SP) breathing. Oy ya, I cannot tolerate any of the SSRI's)neck jaw rigidity> Although, I emotionally felt great after four days of the effexor I had to stop(37.5mg) The psychiatrist put me on serzone now up to 200mg daily and .05 of zanax. The great news is NOTHING has changed. I called the DR and just doesnt get it> anyway,This symptom of breathing is not only horrible it feels like i'm @#$$$ drowning!!!! He was VERY reluctant to put me on the zanax because my father is an alchololic. I AM NOT, have never abused alchohol or drugs. I've called him 2 times and told him I am still breathing VERY badly every second of my waking hours except when its 10 at night and the whole house is quiet, and thats when he upped the serzone but not the zanax. IM SO DESPERATE I DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO!!! Ive tried breathing tecq, walking, hot looooong baths you name it!!! PLEASE ANY ADVICE?
