This is just stupid. The sedation is a 'side effect' of both Seroquel and mirtazapine, so why should her argument work on only one of these meds? And is it even significant that the sedation is listed as a side effect and not the main effect? Both drugs work on multiple receptors/systems, so you just have to be mindful of it all.
I guess you're right. But the seroquel is working, so whatevs.

Both of these make me curious if the anxiety is being triggered by some cardiac issue.
Yeah I know. When I first started having the panic attacks I thought it was my heart. I went to the ER 3 times, every time they did an EKG, they took chest x-rays, they did a bazillion blood tests. They did an ultrasound thing on my heart. I had 3 different cardiologists tell me there was nothing wrong with my heart. Whenever I told them it got worse when I was lying down they'd look at me like I was making it up or talking out of my ass or something.
For me, the only real evidence that it's not my heart is that xanax and lexapro have helped the physical anxiety symptoms, including when I'm lying down.
The anxiety still gets worse with exercise, but it's manageable now.
