> > > > Do you think the Lex is working or the addition of the Valium ?? I know it's a low dose. I use a low dose benzo and it was the only thing that seemed to work for me. All the SSRI's just made anxiety alot worse - that was my experience. I'm glad things are better for you. Did the anxiety really go away after you added the benzo ??? I just wondered your thoughts.

(oh yeah and i always feel like im having a heartattack) :)

> > Tammy, I think for your heart rate to go that high it isnt just the anxiety, it may be caused by the effexor..... I got these palputations when I was on effexor, I had the whole medical check thing and my doc took me off it straight away... It is a side effect from the med caused in some people.....

Tammy thats what heppened with me too, I had the palputations first, when I wasnt anxious or stressed, or so I didnt think. Then I started to get anxious and was put on beta blockers but they didnt work, then I got depressed about it all, and more anxious so I got on SSRI but they happened to cause me more anxiety and palputations, so I had to quit, now Im on TCA and slowly I believe getting better.. For the times of unbearable anxiety I had Valium........ I hope effexor works for you, but just remember that if it doesnt there are loads more meds that will so dont loose hope! Good Luck........
