Anxiety ; panic: It sounds like your doctor is doing a thorough evaluation of your problems first. Many kinds of physical symptoms are common with panic disorder, which can worsen if untreated. "antivan" [ativan] is not the best long-term answer though. You need to also see a psychiatrist for evaluation. Ssri's are very helpful both in overcoming panic attacks and depression. Cognitive therapy is important also.
