I am a 33 year old female,who is having serious trouble.I first started having anxiety attacks 3 years ago,went to the doctors and she has put me on so many different antidepressents and 15 different medicines.Now she has put me on SEROQUEL.She thinks im crazy.I am in pain all the time,my chest hurts by my left breast and my whole left arm is numb.I am tired all the time,my head is always feeling like its going to blow up and my heart beats at 100 miles an hour.I tell her this and all she says is its anxiety more like mania.I have been to the ER dozens of times and they always say something different.Its making me crazy I tell my doctor this and she just puts me on another medicine and wants me to see someone to talk to.I AM NOT CRAZY (NO OFFENSE)I feel all these things .PLEASE ANYONE EVER HAD THIS HAPPEN?

In my opinion, go get another doctor. If youve been seeing the same doctor for a while of course they're gonna keep assuming the same thing and who knows your doctor might be right, but sometimes they dont take that extra measure just to reassure you because they already have it in their head that it is anxiety, go get a second opinion,and<YOU> might want a 3rd. I'm not saying you do have something else wrong with you but it will help you get major reassurance, and you'll feel alot better. you might want to go talk to a therapist, (which is also my next step), you are not crazy, so please dont start believeing it yourself. you'll be alright.
