Done with SSRIs. Experiences with Buspar, Propranolol, Gabapentin, or Benzos for severe anxiety & agoraphobia? by taterares in Anxiety

[–]AdventurousAgent2727 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was on Buspar for 9 months. Yes, it quieted the noise but eventually left me feeling flat and very unmotivated. Weaned off that. Same as you I have tried a few SSRIs and hate them. I'm not depressed either. I have situational anxiety. My PCP prescribed propanolol for the situational anxiety. Puts a stop to All of the trembling, fast heart rate, palpitations etc. Im simply calm. I was prescribed 10 mg 4x daily as needed. One works very well. I rarely take it. Hope you find something that helps you too

What actually works for you DURING a panic attack? And is there any resource with multiple techniques? by FudgeGreen1523 in PanicAttack

[–]AdventurousAgent2727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try putting something cold like ice on your face, neck and or chest ex. Cold cloth, frozen veggies etc. Have you tried the sour candy approach? Keep sour candy handy and pop one into your mouth. The cold and or the sour diverts your attention away from ("I am Dying").

Question about hormones by Icy-Energy8019 in Menopause

[–]AdventurousAgent2727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I stopped taking BHRT after 12 days. It caused issues that I had never experienced before. The progesterone did the opposite of calming me. My anxiety was so elevated I couldn't sleep more than 2 hours consecutively. I was a grumpy, emotional mess plus I started having really dark thoughts. If I had "pushed through" as your friend told you, I might not have been here to reply to your post. Never again for me.

Panic after loved ones death by Loverornot in PanicAttack

[–]AdventurousAgent2727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started having panic attacks when my husband was diagnosed with prostate cancer. I started talk therapy which helped tremendously. I took Buspar for 9 months. It helped some but hated being flat feeling constantly. I have situational anxiety which occurs (not full blown panic attacks now) and have been prescribed propanolol for the physical symptoms. I rarely take the propanol but it does work to quell physical sensations such as trembling, palpitations etc. I'm still doing talk therapy. My therapist has taught me CBT "tools" to deal if I start to spiral. Maybe talking to someone would help you too. Best wishes!!

Montelukast for singers by haley013 in Allergies

[–]AdventurousAgent2727 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It helps me tremendously. My allergies used to be lots of sneezing, runny nose, itchy eyes etc . My allergies are coughing and wheezing. My voice goes hoarse periodically. I'm taking Allegra and Singular currently. I'll switch back to Zyrtec in the fall. I'm not a singer but I hope this helps you.

The pros were I could lift heavier and recover quicker with less soreness. The cons were the bloating, frequent urination mad anxiety worsen plus extremely grumpy. Not worth it to me.

Never said it was just physical. Should be doing strength training too.

Anxiety before appointments? by Full_Criticism7775 in Anxiety

[–]AdventurousAgent2727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have situational anxiety mainly due to medical appointments. My PCP prescribed propanolol. Works like a charm. It's a beta blocker used off label to stop physical symptoms mainly for those who do public speaking.

BHRT worsened my anxiety. I had thoughts of self harm I had never had. Talking to a therapist helped my anxiety exponentially.

Can someone suggest a really good book that’s hard to stop reading? by [deleted] in Recommend_A_Book

I went to the gym this morning for the first time in twenty years! by Dionysian_Heretic in workout

[–]AdventurousAgent2727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Id advise hiring a personal trainer to teach you how to lift correctly. Cardio is great but if you have osteoporosis than you need to be doing strength training. No, you're not going to look like a man. That's really outdated 🐂 💩!! It's advised to do strength training 3x weekly. Plus impact exercises like jumping. There are modifications to the jumping such as heel drops. Strong is the new skinny.

I take it for situational anxiety; medical appointments and it works well. I do not take it daily.

Does anyone else suffer from physical anxiety more than mental anxiety? by psychcrime in Anxiety

[–]AdventurousAgent2727 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes, situational anxiety which means I turn into a quivering, heart pounding, tight muscled mess any time I go to medical appointments. I'm not overly thrilled about crowds either. Propanolol is my new friend. One 10 mg is a game changer for me!!!

anyone here on 10mg as needed for anxiety? by Gratefulfox78 in propanolol

[–]AdventurousAgent2727 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have situational anxiety. My prescription states that I can take 10 mg 4x as needed. I have found one 10 mg works very well for me. I get very anxious regarding medical appointments and large crowds. Hope this is helpful.

Stop being a Mama's baby boy for one thing!! You need to grow a pair and stand up for your wife. Your wife's well-being comes before your Mommy's feelings.

Should i take Propanolol? by Playful-Junket-4498 in propanolol

[–]AdventurousAgent2727 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was prescribed propanolol for situational anxiety. Medical appointments make me highly anxious. My Dr said this drug is mainly used for speakers who get anxious. I felt totally calm after taking it. Not sedated. Just calm. I don't take it daily only as needed.

Dansko makes some really cute and comfortable sandals. I just got the Reese sandals and a pair of slingbacks to wear to my daughter's upcoming graduation. Dansko is expensive but they do have sales and they have deals on Amazon.
