Wow, there sure are a lot of us with anxiety issues. I also had it so severe that my hands and feet were tingling non stop, even when I woke up in the middle of the night. One doctor had me convinced I had the early symptoms of MS (which only added to the anxiety as I had a new baby at the time). Well, after about nine months of tests, it turns out I had anxiety so severe that I was in a constant state of hyperventilation, can you imagine, even while sleeping! Zoloft has been my wonder cure. I only take 25 mg, but at times of extreme stress my dr. has upped it to 100. My siblings all take it too, as we apparently have a bit of "faulty wiring". That point was really driven home by our brother's suicide (refused medications even though we have a huge family history of this). Anxiety and depression are so debilitating and I'm so glad that I got the help I needed, I hope you do too. I really do feel for you and wish you the best. Love, River
