Hi
I have been 3 1/2 years on Propranolol and now I have been coming off these for just 1 and half months like this:
from 160mg a day in slow release form to
80mg a day slow release for 1 month
then
10mg 4x a day for a week
10mg 3x a day for a week
10mg 2x a day for a week
I am now on the 2x a day since Saturday (yesterday) I have been having some side affects and my g/f thinks that my doctor has rushed the last ones as the first doctor did it for a month with the 80mg and that was ok.
I have been having:
Headaches
disseness
sleepy all the time
shaking
higher anxiety
more and bigger panic attacks
feeling sick
Good thing is I am loosing weight and getting back to how I was lol, I am happy to try and stick out these withdrawels and see if I can do the reast witch is 1 tablet for a week after this week and then stop.
But has any one got any really good tips?
I have been doing this:
7/11 breathing
relax time
not stopping my tasks I get from my CBT
Using lavender to relax
cutting out lots of carbs and having better protean
I am on another tablet that I cant spell, but I hope to come off them next.
I was on diazpam for over 3 years and actualy come dependent alot on them, I got to a stange that I took 2 x 28 tablets within a month and my docter then wouldnt allow any more so I had to go cold turkey and that was bad I didnt feel great for weeks, but I am so glad I did as they were actualy stopping me from doing more than I could due to them cosing anxity and me not knowing.
Hope some one can help.
Thank you
