Hi Mandy Im on beta blockers,I have found they have helped me,but everyone is different.The sertraline may make you feel worse for a while,but usually the side affects settle down.
Take care

Hi Mandy,

I had beta blockers. Atenolol 25mg. It basically chilled me out slightly and meant the fog cleared a bit for me. They definitely helped get me away from the acute anxiety.

Cheers,
Trev

Hi Mandy. I Have Been On These For Nearly A Month Now. They Took About 2 Weeks To Kick In, But They Have Really Helped Me, I Can Go Shopping With Friends, Without Panicking, But I Havnt Tried Going Shopping Alone Yet. They Really Help With The Anxiety Symptoms, But I Feel A Bit Worse For Wear, Near To My Monthly Cycle..good Luck.
