Did you find that the side effects wore off after a while of taking them? Maybe I could ask for 10mg when I see the GP
My GP has also prescribed Diazipam to take if I feel really bad but obviously they are not a long term solution. I am hoping that once he Fluxoetine kicks in I won't need anything else. I find the Propranalol makes my blood pressure quite low as well (109/69) this afternoon and my heart rate drops to 55 -60.
I would be interested in other people's experiences as I am new to all these medications and I suppose it's about getting the right dose/combination. I a. The sort of person who reacts to medication and I always take a lower dose of things.
Hi Mazza. Your blood pressure is in the normal limits (60-90) and (90-140). When I first had my anxiety return, my heart rate was about 55bpm. I ended up going to emergency because I thought there was something wrong with me, they said that even though it is low, it may be normal for me, also I have read that anxiety over a long period of time can make your heart rate slower (weird when you think that a panic attack seems to make it race). Other than that I have no idea about the medication you are taking. Tracy
