One other thing I was getting concerned about was the pains in my chest and left arm. For only being 44 I've had heart trouble.too. But they have me on meds that strengthen the heart and I'm doing alot better. Damn stress and anxiety/depression has been trying to kill me. After fighting through all this I think I'll live to be 90. That's a good thing. I still want to be able to give my girls hell. LOL

Good grief! I hope you mentioned the chest and left arm pains to the ER doc! When you asked if others were experiencing "heartache feelings" a few posts back, I thought you meant emotional heartache--not heart attack symptoms. It is dangerous to quit an anti-depressant abruptly--seizures, blood pressure spikes, risk of suicide, pain, etc.
