i really need some advice. i went to my doctor today after 3 months of panic attacks and G.A.D. after my first panic attack i was given xanax and thats all i have been taking since the panic started. i went to the doc because i really havent had a let up with the anxiety ive had the worst heart palpatations and racing heart it sometimes seems like it even stops for a bit ive had stress test and the 24 hour monitor and the results came back "a few premature beats" it has gotten worse since. the doctor that i seen today gave me zoloft and a beta blocker i really want to start them but im so nervous i shouldnt have read the side effects but i can never help my self. does anyone have any positive feed back on zoloft and beta blockers? please nothing scary. i have major health anxiety

You willbe fine, I havebeenusingPaxil andToprolfor years withno side effects orproblems, andit hasdrastically imporived my quality of life. Not having to worry every time I get a panic attack or a palpatation. Relax and go with it for now, you can always go off them if they do not make you feel good.
