Spoke with my doctor again this morning who called me to inform me he had set up an ecocardiogram for next week to test for any heart issues. I told him how well the anti anxiety meds had helped and so that ruled out a heart problem. Now, I have to continue to take xanax for the next week and taper off of it after that. If I don't have anymore anxiety issues then that will mean it was hormone related (apparently around the six month mark is when most women drop most of their prenancy/postnatal hormones). If I begin having attacks again, then that means it's depression and I will be starting on Pristique. This is a very hard thing for me to admit, because I don't "feel" depressed. Hopefully, though, it's just a hormone issue and all will be good. Just wanted to give everyone a quick update on how things turned out this morning. Needless to say, my emotions rode a roller coaster today.
**Just found out my thyroid levels came back normal. :-)
