How many times a day? I'm on 10mg and I can take it up to four times a day,I would not read about it they are really good I know so many people that are on them,I've never had any side affects at all they are given to Patients with heart Conditions to so they will help you not hurt you

[emtw12]

They're intended to slow the heart rate. That's not a bad thing, that's what they do.

I havent been diagnosed with anxiety yet im just getting treated for it atm. but I think they r for any anxiety xx just to help.the palptations they dont help anything else though e.g. skiped beats x

It's a beta blocker. Helps stock the excess of adrenaline kicking in from the fight or flight response in ordr to curb the anxious feelings etc that stem from this fight or flight response going haywire.

I'm on 80mg and supposed to take two a day but only take one , they help reduce panic / anxiety symptoms by slowing yr heart rate ... I've been on them for years and never had any bad affects from them

[emtw12]

thanks. does this medication also help control you're breathing? I feel the need to breathe in deeply constantly n hardly works!

[raggamuffin]

Chest tightness and hy[erventilation are common with anxiety. Practice deep breathing techniques to overcome this.

Just wanted to say, I'm always trying to get a deep breath also. It's exhausting and irritating

[emtw12]

it is! is there anything you take to help it?

[MrsJ88]

No, never been on meds but I was just prescribed diazepam but haven't tried it yet

Use benzos sparingly if anxiety gets v bad.

Is there any danger in taking it?

It makes me feel better- lowers muscle tension, chest pains, and anxiety levels.
But I worry about my blood pressure running too low. I tend to have a high pulse and pretty normal blood pressure, so I don't know if something will happen to me if I take it since my blood pressure runs normal (most of the time). So that causes a tad of anxiety, but it typically makes it better than before nonetheless. I assume 10 mg shouldn't cause much damage, though. Health-wise, is it a risk? My blood pressure/pulse fluctuates wildly, though, so it can go from high to low pretty quickly. I just don't want anything to happen to me if, perhaps, my blood pressure is low that day and the medicine brings it down too much.

Thoughts?
