Citalopram 10mg/propranolol 10mg

[aims86]

Hi all, starting citalopram tonight 10mg was wondering if I need a back up if I get side affects, can I take propranolol 10mg too?

[aims86]

What does that mean?

[alankay]

The two work differently. Propranolol counter acts adrenaline and citalopram boosts serotonin. At 10mg I doubt you have much in the way of problems. Alankay

Thankyou! So the propranolol will help calm me down?

[temperancebrennan]

Propranolol will regulate your heart rate so you can take them when you feel your chest starting to pound & it will help.

^ I was just about to write that! lol

[aims86]

Nope! :,-( I dunno what's wrong with me! Why can't I just take it! As soon as I pick it up I start sweating and am on the verge of having a pa, just getting silly now!

[jhunter89]

What about the emergency diazepam?

[aims86]

I'm scared that I will take a citalopram, start to get panicky and then the diazepam wont work quick enough!

[jhunter89]

It should work within 30 minutes

[aims86]

That all makes such sense, Thankyou!

I know that I have two choices here...

1-take the pill and look forward to getting better.. OR
2-don't take the pill and work out my next plan of action!

Tbh with you, sitting here right now I feel like my mind is a ball of cotton wool, like I'm not real,super anxious and I feel detached from everyone and everything. I find I can't sit still for to long because I can't control my thoughts or actions.

I am in a state and I'm just confused to which way I should choose.

[aims86]

I haven't if I'm honest! Kinda been stuck trying to work it all out..

Anything you can suggest?
