    Beta Blockers plus Herbal Remedies ?

    Hello, Can anyone help ? I have just been prescribed beta blockers (the lowest dose) for an extreme fear of flying. I have never taken these before. Does anyone think these will be effective ? And can I take these with a herbal remedy like Serdyn (Valerian,Passion Flower ) ?
    Thanks

    thanks for your reply bernadette. I have been told that the 10mg dose of beta blockers won't really do anything, especailly on a flight ( where I will be extemely anxious). Can anyone advise on the right dose to take ? Thanks

    Discuss dose with the person who prescribed them. Do not change doses unsupervised.

    I was prescribed 25mg Atenolol when first diagnosed in an anxiety state by a neurologist.

    We are talking low doses but it's still better to talk to the prescriber in my opinion.

    Cheers,

    Is it worth ringing this advice line? Remember they are only open Monday to Friday though!

    Love Piglet

    "Supposing a tree fell down, Pooh, when we were underneath it?" said Piglet.
    "Supposing it didn't," said Pooh after careful thought.
