Hi there!
ok, so here's a little of my history....
When i started college i realized that my anxiety what not just "how i am" I would have a really hard time just sitting in class. My stomach would turn and i'd sweat a lot...enough to make me want to change my clothes. I wouldn't be able to sit too close to other classmates. I also had a hard time walking around the city alone.
I went on Zoloft (120 something MGs) and that lasted a few years until i decided to take myself off of it.
Since then i feel the anxiety creeping back and my doctor naturally tried to put me back on zoloft since it appeared to help me just fine in the past...
WELL...i have developed Tachycardia (heart beat over 100x per minute) and now many of these medications make me crazy! I have tried the zoloft as mentioned,Celexa, lexapro as well as Wellbutrin and even Lithium when another crazy doctor thought i was bipolar. They all gave me this rapid heart beat and restless feeling. I felt like i had an adrenaline rush and i could run for miles. I also noticed some tingling in my hands, arms, and sometimes face.
After almost giving up, my therapist mentioned Buspar which is an anti-anxiety not like xanex, and is supposedly less habit forming.
Just wondering if anyone else has felt these side effects from antidepressants or if anyone has tried Buspar?
