I am going to my friends wedding to be a bridesmaid in 1 and 1/2 weeks. We have to travel down to the event that morning and stay for the weekend. Although i have social anxiety i have been determined to not let anxiety ruin my friends day.
I was on Citalopram for over a year and i came off them last xmas as i felt i had recovered and faced the emotional reasons behind how and why it started. I was doing great but since all this wedding stuff and saying yes to being a brides maid i've been worried that my anxiety will cause problems on the day and therefore ruin her day.
My anxiety is social and travelling. I fear being ill while travelling and therefore making an idiot of myself in front of my friends/people and ruining the day or event.
I suffer from upset stomach, fast heart rate, the need to escape etc etc.
I went to my doctors and told her all of this, She has prescribed 40mg of Propranolol and told me to take them as and when but also take them for a few days before the wedding and during.
She has also give me the Citalopram back for a month only as she feel it is only the foreseen event that has brought it back emotionally.
I just wanted to know really, will the propranolol ruin me of all my physical symptoms of anxiety like upset stomach, tight throat, sweaty hands, increased heart rate? As i am worried there arnt going to work.
i can deal with mental anxiety with positive thinking and yoga but its all the physical side of it that will ruin my day but mostly my friends. She has enough on her plate let alone this anxiety freak.
