Help Please feel totally trapped

Dont know why I am posting this as I dont feel there are any answers out there for me. I have been suffering the worst anxiety panic etc for the last two months I have been on 80mg propananol and a smal dose of valium 3mg for the last two weeks which gave me a slight good spell. But all of a sudden I started having panics again the prop sems to have stopped working and now im taking 15-20mg of valium a day as well which seem to be having little effect am I a freak the only one any meds wont work on this is really stressing me out. The only time I seem to relax is at night when all the fam is in bed I just lay on the couch with my cat and watch tv till the small hours dredding going to bed to wake up to another hell day, I feel there is no hope no nothing what can I do

If it is any help I took propanaprol for a bit and found it didn't really help much. I also had a few days on valium lately (2mg) to get me back to work. That did work but only took the edge of the anxiety but I think that it is all it is supposed to do.

Perhaps you should go back to you Doc and discuss changing meds. There are so many I am sure there will be one that works well for you. The one that did it for me was Citalopram. Worked a treat

I agree with Milly - I think you need to see yoru GP to see if any adjustment to meds can be made e.g change of doseage ( they may have put you on a low one to get you started?)

And as Milly says post on here to get your thoughts out - it helps. Also have relaxing baths in the evening and try to relax more. There's lots of helpful tips on this site on relaxation. It might help .. xxx
