I take Propranolol which is a beta blocker, to relive the physical symptoms of anxiety. (Heart palpitations, chest tightness)
But no medication has stopped my constant overthinking and intrusive thoughts. My opinion is that can only be managed by talking therapies, CBT etc.
Ive been prescribed SSRI meds for anxiety, but these are antidepressants and haven’t had any effect on my anxiety. Just made me feel incredibly low.
I really feel for you, and completely understand, as everything you’ve listed is what I constantly worry about. I’m continuously obsessing over when I will die, when my family will die, have I upset someone, does everyone hate me.
I’ve taken Mirtazapine (anti depressant) which helped me sleep as my anxiety gives me awful insomnia, but the side affects were awful for me. Increased hunger and weight gain - so decided to come off them.
Medication is very much trial and error. Everyone reacts and responds differently to them.
What’s helping me is exercise and swimming at the moment. I’m also being referred for CBT therapy.
I hope something works for you 💐
