Hey Panman, I'm with Frijoli.

Get along to the quacks and get a check-up. stress ECG, blood tests etc. and do it today!!!

I experienced some form of panic/anxiety/depression a year or so ago, it didn't cause pain, just a feeling of unwellness, and the doc gave me some happy pills not unlike what you took. They didn't do much. In the end I think I just realised what was happening and dealing with it cured the symptoms. Now I firmly believe that it is not only women who experience some form of menopausal change.
