> Propanalol, inderal makes you very tired and slows down the pulse. Sounds like anxiety to me. Love phillipa and welcome
I think it is also giving me nausea.
But I am getting headaches from the palpitations, and they are definitely getting worse. All day long.
So sometimes I have to take 2 props-they really don't help too much but any relief is better than nothing.It does not make sense to me that anxiety would give me palps ALL DAY LONG. It is not like a panic attack. I wake up and they are there, I go to sleep and they are there. I also have tighness in my throat area and it seems that breathing gets tough. I don't want xanax or I'll be a walking zombie for work.
Also, then I will 2 meds to detox from Xanax and the Effexor.
I am feeling so bad all the time. I don't know which end is up. I can't live like this, it's horrible.
Right now I have nausea, headache, tightness is throat,heart pounding.In order to sleep, I have to take the Ambien. Add to all of this chronic depression.I wake up feeling the same way, only tired. The Ambien may knock me out, but my body is not resting.
I am also in psychotherapy w/a therapist who is very expereinced with patients who have psychiatric disorders. She understands the anxious depression that is part of bipolarII. She also seems to feel that the Lamictal, if it works, will help me.
I can tolerate the depression better than the anxiety. I guess because I have had the depression my entire life. But the two together is the most horrible of feelings.
I also have a history of alcohol/drug abuse. I have been sober for 22 years. And I mean sober. Not a drug or a drink.
I hold on by hoping that the Lamictal will kick in and I will be able to go off the Prop, Effexor and Ambien.
