cartia xt & anxiety treatmentBy Kelly Gage from Fishkill, NY on December 29, 2005 Category: Diltiazem hydrochloride I have battled with anxiety for about 5 years. I have taken lexapro, paxil & effexor. I was taking Effexor 150 in September when I was diagnoised with Supra Ventricular Tachycartia. When I hade the serious episode I was given adrinocort & I converted right away. I went on Cartia XT 120 and dropped my Effexor to 75. During the time that I was taking the Cartia & the Effexor my anxiety had never been better.When I look back I think some of my episodes of anxiety may have actually been SVT or a combination of both. 2 weeks ago I have a catheter ablation to correct the SVT. 5 days prior to the procedure I stopped taking the Cartia XT and I started feeling funky again. My chest felt heavy, easily aggravated, when I deep breathe I almost feel water logged (like I had spent to much time in the pool like when I was a kid). The feeling has continued since & I feel like my axiety is back to not being under control. Could the Cartia XT a been assisting with my anxiet control? if so, what else should I take. I should note that when I was taking Effexor 150 alone my anxiety symptoms were definately more present than when I took Effexor 75 & Cartia XT 75. I am a 37 year old female. Any thoughts? |
