Hey All

[Minababay]

I'm new to this group and I must say I am excited to have found it. I've been suffering from Anxiety for almost 2 years. I recently was put on Zoloft to help me cope. I hate the symptoms that i get from anxiety and it freaks me out and makes me miserable. I am a mommy of 2 little ones (3 and 18 months) and just want to be healthy for them. I've recently started talking to a therapist too, and I must say that I am feeling better everyday knowing that I am takin charge of this nasty anxiety!! Just wanted to say hey :)

[Minababay]

I have on and off symptoms...it maybe I'm just looking for it ;) lol. I'd say 1 year of on and off symptoms.

My current symptom and maybe my worst by far is my heart skipping beats. I went to the doctor and had an EKG and they said its from anxiety and stress. But I went back and now they will
Do a 24 hour heart monitor... I get that done in about 2 weeks. The doctor didn't think
I needed it, but let me have that appt for my peace of mind. I mainly feel the skip beats when working out! It's feels like my heart is doing a disco dance! Hate it.

Ya you are definitely not alone. That was the very first symptom fire me, my heart skipping beats, ended up in the emergency room for a day and left with the docs telling me it was a panic attack. Eve since that day my life on the daily has been ran by anxiety and panic. Was taking Zoloft, Paxil, Prozac, ever benzo, propranolol and atenolol. all the medications did for me was help for a short period of time but sure enough, everyday, my anxiety and panic was still there. Now I'm facing this with no meds and trying to talk about it and I feel its better than taking meds. Glad to have found this place

I tired for so long to cope with just xanex as needed. After getting heart palpations I was just fed up with the stupid symptoms. I wanted something daily to help "prevent" my anxiety from occurring. I've been on Zoloft for about a month and I really like it and can totally tell a difference with just my low dose of 25mg. I actually look forward to things now. I do suffer sometimes from my silly anxiety, but it isnt nearly as bad!!! Good luck to you:)
