Anxiety physical symptoms /meds

Do you think ssris would help me decrease alot of these physical symptoms..like chest pain, breathing issues, anxiousness???

Iv only been given xanax but ofcourse it's a very short acting meds....I was told I would go on zoloft on my next check up..

Anyones opinion would definitely help.

Thank you

My gp seems to think so. I have been prescribed lexapro but haven’t started taking them yet.

Same here, iv been given zoloft but iv never picked them up . I guess by reading so many things about it such as the side effects and how it gives you vivid dreams and some say it even made them worst.. but I guess we cant justify it by others but ourselves . What doesnt work for me might work for you or vice versa.

Good luck on your lexapro

Yes that’s my problem the side effects. I already have insomnia and the 1st thing the chemist said to me was it can cause insomnia. I was like but I already have that is it going to make it worse 😩 and the nausea I’m worried about too as I’m already nauseous to the point of vomiting most days. I don’t know if it’s worth it but if I don’t try I won’t know. I think the main thing I worry about is if I don’t like it or the SE are so bad you can’t just stop you have to taper off.

Wow I'm sorry about your insomnia and nausea, iv had insomnia before due to anxiety and dr. Told me to get over the counter melatonin wich would help me sleep and once I get back to my normal sleeping pattern it will become as needed then. Then recently iv been feeling nausea especially during the evening and it sucks.

So I can relate to your symptoms. I did buy these herbal natural pills that I got off of amazon for anxiety. But it scared me , most of the ingredients are for calming effect. But what it did to me was definitely people who suffer insomnia, it knocked me out completely. It was to the point my kids were talking to me and my head felt so tired and heavy I could only slur while talking to them. So you can try it it's called zen ...its not dangerous because it's all natural but its calming effect is so strong well atleast for me it was. I hope you find some peace within your life and hopefully those meds do the job.
