Beta Blockers have worked!!

[rufess1]

Been suffering from panic disorder for over 2 years, every night I had a panic attack. Someone told me about beta blockers for panic attacks, so I asked my doc for some. Im only on 10mg (I have low blood pressure so can only take a low dose) but WOW what a difference it has made. Since taking them I haven't had a single panic attack, not even a heart flutter. The sinking feeling before going to sleep has also gone. I don't sit all tensed up at night or clench my jaw anymore. Just wish he had put me on them years ago. Now I need to try and gain a bit of weight as I look like skin and bone after the last 2 years.

This site has been an amazing support and has really helped me get over the fear of a panic attack.:yahoo:

That's great to hear, sometimes it is the physical feelings of anxiety that start the cycle of panicky thoughts that lead to more physical symptoms. It's great that Propanolol has stopped that cycle and you're feeling good again.
