Hey Twig, What does of propanalol are you on? and have you tried some breathing techniques yet?

Kitty Ki Ki xx

are your buspar and klonopin regular meds? x

Hunni if your really panicky take your meds, thast what they are there for, are you trying to taper off the klonopin and buspar or are you ment to still take them? So sory your having such a rough time just try breathing adn take your medication if you need to and if the propanolol arent working contact your gp , i hope it passes quickly for you xx

Ok Twiggy take your buspar like your supposed to and if you feel the need ot take the klonopin take it, if all your other techniques aren't working then do what you think is right for you hunni, how long have you been on klonopin for ? and do you take it every single day? x

Heart palps are very very very common for people who suffer from anxiety and panic disorders, thursday last week my palps started at 8pm and didnt let up till after dinner time on the friday, granted the doc upped my buspar and put me on temazepam, it sounds like you anxious about the new meds and other such things, if you feel really concerned about the heart palps then call your Dr and explain you started propanolol (whenever you took it) but your heart is racing etc he will probably advise you thats its anxiety adn to take your klonopin but like i say i'm not a Dr or a health professional, I;ve only taken propanolol once for a week but it didnt agree with me i take bisoprolol to regulate my heart beat, If you really are feeling uncomfortable with it then seek advice from your GP !!!

Bisoprolol is a beta blocker yeah, i'm on a really low dose just to stop the palps and eptopic beats i have (extrabeats that is) And my temazepam is a benzo but its for insomnia but it also has anti anxiety properties also and is used as a muscle relaxant, it is basically just to help me sleep at night because i suffer from insomnia and anxiety during the night (only been on it for 5 days) but i'm on buspar like yourself and i've just started taking prozac as well!!(nice cocktail isnt it) the temazepam is only a short term thing to regulate my sleeping till all my other meds kick in, but, like your Dr my dr doesnt want me on thenm for too long either!! Maybe you should talk to your Dr about going onto something long term for your anxiety i.e prozac or sertraline or one of the other SSRI's?? or if you have a therapist talk to them about the other medication you can take, its pretty much trial and error when it comes to anxiety meds and eventually along with therapy or CBT you will find a good mix

Keep your chin up hunni and keep reminding yourelf that the fear doesnt control you, you control the fear and you can beat it okkies xxx

Ahhhhhh i see ok well that knocks that one on the head, do you see a therapist or psychologist? It might be better for you to get a course of therapy in the long run? xx

My shrink is also my therapist. I see him for an hour every week.

I've been on Buspar for a year. The heart rate is my resting heart rate and I smoke. Idk. I just hate having my heart race. Im so tired right now but want to play with my daughter. I feel bad but I literally laid around for hours last night unable to sleep

Twiggy that med is gonna drop your blood pressure it made me feel really dizzy so I stopped taking it and for some reason my dr started me on 40mgs. After a week I got ringing in my ears to so I just quit it completely.

you might need to try a diff. beta blocker. generic metaprolol doesn't work for me. i am now on atenolol.
but what was your racing heartrate? 78 is great. a beta blocker shouldn't speed your hr up at all but it may not be doing it's duty if it isn't lowering your heartrate.
when i was on generic (and i say generic because i have read alot of ppl and a few drs. have told me that generic bp meds sometimes don't work for some ppl and you should always take name brand) metaprolol my heartrate was 90 resting. i think i was focusing on it also. but even so, when i switched, everything leveled out.
so just try something else maybe. or the name brand if the generic isn't working. just my opinion.
