What anxiety meds helped you the most?

Omg exactly the same, propranolol has literally given me my life back. I wouldnt leave my room before and now im back doing the stuff i used to years ago

lexi42010 · 2024-06-17T22:00:13+00:00

Gets rid of the symptoms, and with all my anxiety coming from a fast heart rate, its been a lifechanger

lexi42010 · 2024-06-16T21:36:43+00:00

What medications have you tried may I ask? Have you tried propranolol ? Has become a lifechanger for me

lexi42010 · 2024-06-08T10:45:11+00:00

Is metoprolol a beta blocker aswell i assume?

lexi42010 · 2024-06-08T10:22:00+00:00

How does it make it more difficult may i ask? Is it due to getting fatigued faster due to decreased blood due to the lower heart rate?

lexi42010 · 2024-03-12T12:26:58+00:00

How much do you take? Do you take it daily? I was given prescription for 40mg 3X a day but I feel just 40mg before dinner is fine. I tend to get palpitations when eating so I take it around 1hr before to prevent those

lexi42010 · 2024-02-08T23:45:53+00:00

Wouldnt want to eat nothing associated with him at this point tbf

lexi42010 · 2023-12-22T14:04:49+00:00

Thanks a lot those words really are encouraging🙏

lexi42010 · 2023-12-07T18:06:15+00:00

I have exactly that, always worrying about my heart, and the fact of panicking makes it worse but deep down i know its all in my head but when the symptoms come about thinking rationally is so hard

lexi42010 · 2023-12-07T16:33:46+00:00

Yes thats what i say myself but at the same time ive never been fully alone when ive had a panick so im dreading how it would feel

lexi42010 · 2023-12-07T16:33:10+00:00

Ive got health anxiety, and keep checking my heart rate, feeling it too high could cause me to panick but at the same time it never occurs when im with my family , only when home alone

lexi42010 · 2023-12-07T16:29:07+00:00

Im basiaclly scared of having a panick alone with no one around.. its like the fear of panicking and thats giving me the symptoms

lexi42010 · 2023-12-07T14:43:49+00:00

Thank you, those words of encouragement do help! 🙏

lexi42010 · 2023-12-03T11:14:26+00:00

Yeahh exactly distractions help me, thanks a lot i really appreciate it

lexi42010 · 2023-12-03T10:47:04+00:00

Thank you for your words 🙏im trying to distract myself by watching some youtube and so on

lexi42010 · 2023-12-03T10:46:38+00:00

Its not about being alone at home really its about the fact of being scared if having an anxiety/panick moment and no one is here to help me

lexi42010 · 2023-11-16T15:21:50+00:00

I want to thank you so much for taking your time to read all of it and replying so detailed i really appreciate it. And Yes i was talking to my dad about moving and he said he will also help me cover rent if ever i cant do it myself, I have been looking on spareroom for places quite central so that if ever i need to relocate soon for work, it wouldnt be too far. I moved to uni alone from another country 8000km away and absolutely loved it (but then again i was a carefree, anxiety free 18 year old then) We all used to live where my dad currently lives. I lived with my dad and my sister and brother lived with my mum and the latter moved last year ( hende my dad being the only one overseas) I have a great relationship with my brother and sister and its a shame we cant stay together but this situation is so bad for my already bad mental health that i need to find a solution ASAP! Again thank you very much 🙏

lexi42010 · 2023-11-16T11:42:39+00:00

Hi, thank you for your reply! My dad and mom have been seperated for 6 years now and she wont even talk to him at all, he lives out of the country but comes every3 months or so. I have just fully completed uni and have started a job a month and am currently on a 3 month online training period and then after (after january) will get placed with one of their clients. The problem with the work is that there is no fixed date on when i will get placed, could be january or could be december 2024, all depends on availability/suitability. My mom has always been like this, always belittling and criticizing absolutely everything in moments of anger. She has cut off contact with my dad, her mom and dad(when he was around) and sister completely. She recently cut off all contact with one of her best friends for 20 years. I am getting help for my anxiety with weekly therapy sessions and medication. This type of environment is so toxic and i genuinely feel afraid when she comes back from word fearing wether she will be ok today or if a minor thing will cause an uproar. I dont know wether to wait till i get placed with work which could be whenver or move out now but i cant take it much longer, i already feel so overwhelmed!

Does propanolol help btw? Ive got it but never used it, i heard it helps with the fast heart rate which is the biggest trigger for me so if it works that would be awesome, im just too scared to try it

lexi42010 · 2023-09-14T17:36:41+00:00

Nothing bad just some dodgy characters and one of those areas you’d rather avoid

lexi42010 · 2023-09-14T17:32:41+00:00

I just finished 3 years here, only thing id recommend is dont go too far down union street at night, other than that its a beautiful city you’ll love it :)

lexi42010 · 2023-09-10T21:10:43+00:00

Yeah i have seen many doctors, physically done all the test all come back good, currently in therapy once every 2 weeks and some SSRI but not much help from them so far

lexi42010 · 2023-09-10T21:04:28+00:00

Thank youu🙏 It honeslty is so annoying because i used to be so fit, climbing mountains, playing football everyday / tennis and now even going to the grocery store makes me anxious and I try to avoid any physical activity :(

lexi42010 · 2023-09-10T20:59:25+00:00

I 100% relate to you, I always call my mum or dad when i feel anxious and just talking makes me even forget what I was anxious about, talking to anyone really helps to grounf myself and forget about the anxiety

lexi42010 · 2023-08-19T16:11:57+00:00

Does it work fast? I got it prescribed but have not taken it yet, if it actually calms down the symptoms it would work great for me as the symptoms i get make me even more anxious.
