You're bound to feel a bit odd when you first start a new medication. This drug will change your normal physical responses, so that weird feeling will persist until your body becomes accustomed to it, which may take a few weeks. It's helped a lot of people on the forum so give it a chance. There may also be a slight interaction with the digoxin, which is adding to your side effects, so have a chat with your doctor about it.

I take160mg. I also take 10mg amlodipine.
I took antenanol which is also a beta blocker for 25 years.
Ive been taking them for so long not cus of panic but cus of high bp.
Now I find even tho I still get down days im far more calmer.
Just stick with it for a couple of weeks and see how you go.
Tip: I never read side affects to tabs.

p.s. Im still only 35!!!!!:roflmao:
