Hi Tracey

Glad to hear the appt went well but remember that you have to put in some work yourself too! :D

You know those panics can't hurt you (you're still here!) so shrug them off..if they happen go and do something else instead.

Small steps lass. :hugs:

Hi Tracy ,just caught up with your posts .I took beta blockers and they did help greatly with the racing heartbeats ,This will help you to control the Anxiety more .Hopefully the Cit will start to kick in soon ,or an increase will be needed .Well done for eating yesterday and for managing to work .Its early days yet but im sure you will see an improvement soon .Take care Luv Sue x:hugs:

I was on propranalol and citalopram years ago. Im currently taking it with seroxat and mirtazapine. So theres no worry about mixing it with your ADs.
Its a great pill that takes the edge of your anxiety by stopping your body from reacting as strongly to the adrenaline in your system. It will only work on a physical level, so it wont play with emotions or thoughts.
Good luck!
