...See more Hello i am a 42 year old male that never experienced anxiety until i was 38. A few years back I was told by my doctor at the time that i have severe anxiety and depression. Nothing they have given me medicine wise seems to help and I just keep getting worse. I have just been switched to venlafaxine 75mg twice a day and not sure what to expect. Does anyone else ever have these types of symptoms when you have a panic/anxiety attack? - pins and needles all over body to where it feels like i am on fire - have a hard time catching breath - get starry eyed and feel like i am going to pass out - blood pressure and heart rate get really high Looking for people that understand
