New & Anxious

[Paula51]

Hi, I am a new member! Hi everyone, I suffer terribly with anxiety, and really struggle sometimes, I have catastrophic thoughts, and so need a break from my brain. My GP prescribed propranolol yesterday, and they have taken the edge of the physical symptoms.......... sorry I am so desperate x

Hiya Paula welcome

I have propanalols too. Excellent for clear headed days!

Have they plans for an AD (anti depressants) or trying the props first?

I am on setraline as well as props, so hopefully it will get easier.

I haven't had sertraline, I take Paroxetine alongside mine.
It's all OK if I don't forget but I hate the buzzy buzzy head I get if I take them late.
I have diazepam for bad days but I don't ever take them because I smoke fat hash joints instead being organised helps for me.

On the mental health section there are loads of lovely people so do post there!

Hi Paula51,

Welcome!

Sorry to hear you're having such a tough time.

Hope you find some useful support on Mumsnet
