2nd Day on Propranolol

[cookie123]

Hi

Day one went OK, doc had told me that i had to take 1 x 40mg, and 2 if needed.
At about 6pm last night, i felt the shakes taking over my body again, and was feeling really anxious, i took another 20mg of propranalol, and it seemed to calm me enough, to get me through the night.
I had a bit of a restless night and woke at 7am, and the shakes and nerves in my stomach were terrible, i lay in bed fighting to get them under control, but eventually got up at 8am and took another 40mg, im starting to calm down a bit now.
Is this now going to be the cycle of life, taking tablets, and when the effects start to wear off, i feel like a junkie needing a fix,to calm me down.
I was hoping that the meds would break the cycle of severe nerves and panic.
Is there anything else i can do to try and help myself.

Please...any advice would be greatfull

Hi Chloe
I took an inner ear virus, which affected my balance, ive been off work for 12 weeks, but while the virus was there,everytime i went out i would get dizzy and start panicing, for most of the time i have stayed at home. its really nocked my confidence.
The ear infection is gone now, bit it has left me with really bad nerves,and i cant stop shaking and panicing every time i go out. I just cant seem to get my nerves under control.
Im due to start back work on Monday, and im really stressing out about it. XX
