Well I went 2 years with mild anxiety and thought I could handle it without med, so I got off my Effexor. What do you know 1 month later I'm back to being anxious everyday. I've been to the ER twice with tachycardia in the 160's. My resting heart rate was in the low 100s. I feel like it's never going to get any better. The ER dr. told me I should be on a beta blocker, but I'm so scared of meds. I've been on one before and it dropped my blood pressure to 90 over 50. I couldn't even get off the couch. The ER Dr. checked everything that could cause elevated heart rate and said everything is fine and in strong working order. Now I'm checking my heart rate every 10 minutes. I'm back to thinking I have something wrong with my heart. I've been through this before and I tell myself there's nothing wrong with my heart.
   Now I'm back on anti depressants. My Dr. put me on Cymbalta. I've only been on it for a week and a half so far, so I don't know how it's going to work. I'm back to seeing my Therapist once a week. It helps some. I'm just so tired of the feeling of doom.
