Been anxious every day for almost a week. Been taking Ativan if I can't get rid of it. Should I call pdoc? I'm nearly out of ativan too.

I would say yes. Generally Ativan is very effective in treating anxiety, so if it isn't, you should consult with your pdoc.
I'm sorry and I hope it gets better soon

I have found Klonopin more effective than Ativan, although that, too, loses effectiveness over time. But it is worth a try. I have also found treadmill helpful. I believe that it is the increase in HR that alleviates anxiety for me. But for me, anxiety is primarily not because I am "anxious ABOUT something" - it is an irrational bodily sensation, often centered in the chest, sometimes with some nausea in the throat, sometimes with weakness under the kneecaps - you get the idea. And there is no rationale behind it. It is just a very unpleasant bodily sensation that I wish I could do without. I also tend to get it closer to the evening. If I get it real late, say at 8PM, the best course of action for me is to fall asleep. I did it yesterday, I have had 8 hours of sleep, although with breaks, and I feel great this morning. So here are some ideas.

I called my regular dr. as I'm having trouble breathing too. Pdoc office was closed for an hour. I might call them too. Five minutes until they're open again.

Thanks Suga.

I talked to the intake person. So I just wait for someone to call me back. Could be a long time. I want a nap! I'm tired. and I'm answer eharmony questions. One person really interests me but he hasn't responded.

Hmm... ER? Do you feel it's that serious? Or do you just need a stronger anti-anxiety med?

I keep having sharp pains and dull aches in my chest and I can't get a full breath in. With those symptoms they can't NOT tell me to go. If its anxiety maybe they're prescribe me and anti anxiety med. The nurse said that plus the tiredness could be a heart attack (women's version).

I'm back.

I got admitted. I had/have blood clots in my lungs. And right now I have a migraine too. I have to take blood thinners indefinitely. Scary. I feel nauseated from the migraine and am eating to try to fix that. I only slept 3 hours last night, too.
