Re: propanalol not working!!
Tou'll have to let me know how it goes. Not sure what citalopram helps with? I'll be going back to see my GP soon.
Agree, ok it stops my heart going twenty to the dozen, but everything else is still there!
Re: propanalol not working!!
Citalopram are way more effective for anxiety than Propranalol. Propranalol are betablockers, designed to lower your blood pressure and stop palpitations etc. Citalopram are Selective Serotonin Reuptake inhibitors and designed to balance the seratonin levels in your brain to stop anxiety/depression. Beta blockers are not good for longterm use. One treats the symptom, the latter, the cause x

Re: propanalol not working!!

Glad it's helping you! x
Re: propanalol not working!!
Did you manage to get hold of the Citalopram easily? Because I'm on Propranolol for PAs and I was made to take a depression test and scored highly, and am being referred to a Psychiatrist because the doc "Can't perscribe me anti depressants".
I found my Proporanolol (was on one, went up to three then back to two) does barely anything. I don't get the physical stuff, but my mind is still tearing itself in two with fear.
NHS for the win or for the loss?
Re: propanalol not working!!
Hiya,
I was at the doc's today, and got put on citalopram, 10mg to start off with. (although i havn't actually got it yet because they were running so late the pharmacy was shut by the time i got out!!)
I was going to suggest it if he didn't, but he said i should try it because the propanalol 'wasn't helping with my emotional symptoms'.
I'm staying on the propanalol (40 - 120mg) aswell, because it does help with my palpatations which stop me relaxing in the evenings, but as for the general anxiety, they don't help at all!
I can't see why your doctor wouldn't give them to you, or send you to a psychiatrist so soon?
I didn't have to take any test either.
Hope it keeps on working for you rachael!
