Hi, new to this forum, and just wanted to tell a little about me. I have been dealing with anxiet for 4 years now. Just recently had my third child and since then my anxiety has gotten worse. I was having more attacks and symptons of dizziness, shortness of breath, feeling you know "weird", worrying constantly something is wrong with my health and am dying. I went to the doc and he put me on paxil. Made me feel worse. Now I am taking effexor 150mg a day and klonopin for the days when I feel really yukky.
Recently, I have been getting these sharp stabbing like pains in the left side of my chest. They only last for a few seconds, but it seems like it is happening several times a day.
Is this all really just anxiety? Or something else? Pulled musle from carrying car seat and baby maybe? What do you think?
Anybody else on effexor?
I am thinking it is not making me feel as good as I can feel.
Help.
