I just started taking Venlafaxine the other day and I'm noticing that my chest is getting more numb and tight every day. It's even giving me a bit of pain and makes it hard to breathe sometimes. I've heard I shouldn't just stop taking it because of withdrawal issues. Are these symptoms something that usually happens, or is something wrong? And if I decide to stop it soon since I just started, would I still go through withdrawals?

I'm feeling really worried because I usually get panic attacks and my cardiologist had me go through ECG, echo, TMT, and X-ray, and everything came back normal. But yesterday, I had another panic attack, went to the GP, did an ECG, and was having shortness of breath. The GP said it's just an anxiety attack, but I'm still scared something might be wrong. Could you take a look at my ECG and let me know if everything is truly okay?
I don't have access to any attached files. However, based on your description and the tests you have already undergone, it seems like your symptoms are related to anxiety attacks. To manage your anxiety symptoms, you can try taking Alprazolam (Xanax) 0.5mg as needed when you feel a panic attack coming on. Additionally, practicing relaxation techniques such as deep breathing exercises or mindfulness meditation may also help in reducing the frequency and intensity of your panic attacks.

I'm planning to take both Etizola and Placida and I'm wondering about how to space them out properly. Is it safe to take them together, or should I wait awhile between taking each one? I'm just trying to avoid any potential issues, so any advice you have would be super helpful.
