OUTLAW, HOPE YOU ARE DOING BETTER. AFTER ALL THE TESTS YOU HAVE HAD YOU CAN PROBABLY RULE OUT ANY HEART PROBLEMS. I KNOW ITS HARD BECAUSE I WENT TROUGH THE SAME THING AS YOU-- MULTIPLE EKG'S, STRESS TEST, ECHOCARDIOGRAM, CHEST XRAYS, ETC. AND EVERYTHING CAME BACK FINE. IT JUST TOOK A LOT OF CONVINCING TO MYSELF THAT I WAS ALRIGHT. IT JUST MAKES YOU WONDER WHEN WE FEEL LIKE THAT THAT THERE HAS TO BE SOMETHING WRONG. I' VE BEEN TO MANY DOCTORS JUST TO SEE IF ONE WOULD TELL ME SOMETHING DIFFERENT AND THEY ALL COME BACK WITH ANXIETY. MY GP WANT EVEN GIVE ME AN EKG ANYMORE. SOUNDS LIKE READING IS HELPING - ANYTHING TO KEEP YOUR MIND OFF THE WAY YOU FEEL HELPS. LOT EASIER SAID THAN DONE . GOODLUCK AND GOD BLESS.

Dear Outlaw, I thought of one more book that helped me "When Going Through Hell Don't Stop" by Douglas Bloch, this book comforted me on my darkest days, its about medication and seeking help, I called the number in the book and they put me on their chapel prayer list and a few days later I felt better! I hope these books help. Debbie.

Hi Outlaw, I hope you are feeling better. I have two books that really helped me and they are SO informative: The first one is called "The Complete Guide to Psychiatric Drugs" by Edward Drummond. The second is very good too "The Noonday Demon" by Andrew Solomon, he suffered from panic anxiety and depression, he took Xanax and other drugs, it almost like a biography its excellant and explained alot. Both these books I would reccomend, they are full of info about meds and panic. I read the Claire Weeks book too and that was good. Take care and God bless, Debbie.

whats new folks im reading a book by claire weeks,recomended by a friend on here..turns out that book cured my dad in the early 80's.. anyone know of a newer type of book that explains meds better..? ok well ive been tyed up in knots latley mostly anxiety,the other part is what if its my heart.. so im chillin reading the book and my support group is telling me to get a second opp..well i like the idea and hate it at the same time..if i do im defating the purpose for what the basis of book was written on..than again peace of mind is priceless.so what is the best option.. now i se your points as valid and i agree,but if the tests came out good like every other one..would i belive it..i didnt belive the holter monitor in 2000..i just had a ekg a resting echo,and a stress test plus a stress test done in like the last 4 months i think..if i could get more tests would i belive it..i need your support..the thought scares me to at the same that you guys mentioned more testing my family would go nuts if i tryed that again..i have to do what is best for me..im 26,and i think i need a med,but i just cant take it right now..xanax is it..well pray for me and through in your 2 cents..your a support group.. outlaw
