Not helping with the hyperthyroid symptoms, anxiety, or both, Nick? If for the symptoms then maybe the dose is inadequate.
Beta-blockers don't actually ease anxiety, per se, just block/reduce the adrenaline surge symptoms of the flight-or-fight response which can really spook people. This can sometimes be enough, but some need a med which directly address anxiety. Either way, I think you need to get back to the GP asap.
Really struggling at the moment so have decided to increase the sertraline slowly, started on 62.5 last week and will go to 75mg this week.
Fingers crossed the increase will help
Any words of advice??
The increased dose should help, but be aware it may take some time for this to become apparent. ADs are not quick acting meds. Which is why I've suggested seeing your GP asap. The sooner your anxiety levels are bought under control the better.
