tracy Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hi Still having problems with anxiety especially at night. Feel spaced out with pain at back of head and neck. Been given propranolol by doctor, thinking i will start with them. Has anybody been given these, if so do they help. Traci S xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sallym25 Posted January 27, 2011 Share Posted January 27, 2011 Hi Traci, I had propranolol from day 1. I only came off it about 6 weeks ago, so in total I took it for 17 months. I never really understood what it was meant to do for me, but on the whole, I don't believe I had any issues with over anxiety. Perhaps they were working for me the whole time then? Hope they do that for you too. Sally xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Hi Traci I take daily propanalol and it does work for me. I resisted being prescribed it for some time as I wanted to avoid the neurotic/anxious label but my GP finally persuaded me that it's an adrenal imbalance that was causing the "fight or flight" response (hence the need for propanalol) and that this was a result of residual damage post SAH. I'm glad I did listen and now take them on a daily basis, since I started I've not suffered from any anxiety attacks. Hope they work for you Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
