Jackie,
I could have written your message verbatim (except I don't have a husband); all that you said applies to me, as well, right down to the verapamil "mostly" working.
I think I'm "going chronic" as well, and the mixture of anxiety and depression is potent, to put it mildly. Many days I would like a hand gun permit rather than another prescription.
In any case, I get a mild attack every night now, and of course the anxiety starts . . . and what I do now is take a Xanax (0.5) that not only relieves the anxiety, but also puts me to sleep.
Yes, I know Xanax is habit forming and I really don't care at this point.
Far be it from me to recommend this, but it sure works for me. So far.
Painfreeness to all!
Ken
