Will I be prescribed anything for anxiety rn

[Pleasedontdrawonyoursister]

I’ve always suffered with anxiety but managed to control it mainly by visiting the gym, work, keeping myself and family busy. Obviously now that’s all stopped and I am being consumed by my thoughts. Whilst I’m not worried about the virus itself my mind is in overdrive convinced it’s a cover up for something much bigger. I can’t sleep at night, I’m either over eating crap or eating nothing at all because I have such a knot in my stomach. I have 3 children and feel like I am so absent at the moment for them. If I call the dr will they prescribe me anything or will they just assume it’s general anxiety because of the virus. I feel like a need some help so badly.

I'm sure they will , propranolol is a drug you take like paracetamol when and if you need it .. seems to be pretty effective on family members and easily offered .

I'm sorry you arent feeling great! If it helps I called my GP yesterday to speak to them and was prescribed sertraline. GP was lovely about it.

Mine gave me promethazine which is a sleeping tablet. Sleep helped a lot. Gp also wanted to suggesr anti depressants but I did not want them.

I hadn't had a propranolol script for a year and I half after a horrible time at my old work. I called doc for a script last week. He called back and after a chat he said he understood why I might need it in current climate. I was then prescribed a 3 month script
