N.A.T.

I have actually heard it has the opposite effect!

Everyone responds differently...but I would be surprised if this Rx was activating for you...so try not to anticipate this s/e.

Best wishes with the new regimen. Keep us updated so we can keep you in support.😃

20mg propranolol seems to have no effect on my heart rate. Another 3hr night. I hope it starts to work overtime. I have an important exam to study for.

I'm not taking it anymore. Read online that studies show it causes night time awakening. I won't take it untill my Dr. gives me the slow release version. Like what the heck why didn't he give me the slow release form from the start. Do I really want to take something that's gonna cause me to be up at 2am and he able to go back to sleep all because of a drug he gave me to sleep. Im mad, i knew the night time awakenings were diff they were freaken drug induced.

I am sorry that this has been difficult and frustrating. :/ I hope that you can get the right regimen going for your needs soon!

Until then, do your best to work your coping skills to stay as relaxed as possible with the best shot at getting the good night's sleep you seek.

With understanding and encouragement,

Thank you for your response. I appreciate the messages.

I tried sleeping without the pills just my usual clonazepam (which doesn't feel like it's doing anything), I got more than 3hrs the other day! Last night too!. It just keeps being broken sleep though and I get panic attacks in my sleep.

I feel like I set myself up to worry, its hard not to make it a self fulfilled prophecy. I know the panic attacks in the middle of the night happen more when I'm scared more than normal that they might happen. I tired to accept them and not care about them, but when you wake up and ur hearts beating out of your chest its hard too make it stop.

I'm applying to medical school and have the entrance exam end of May I hope I can get this figured out to get decent sleep. In june i wont care as much cause the exam will be over!

I know I can fight this, the power of the brain is very strong and i know I am in control. I am the boss of my body, and life will throw all these things at you, but thats what life's about. Its our job to learn from those things and learn more about ourselves and the strength we have to overcome things we never thought we could. Anxiety can do all its wants to me, I say anxiety come at me bro. I dare you to fight me. Cause your nothing. You need me to survive, so you'll never EVER be as strong as me. This mutalistic relationship has run its course. You have gotten the fear from me and you have made me wiser and realize the strength I do have. But not its time to go, so I ask you again come at me bro. Theres no more running away from you or pretending you don't exist. Cause I'm not scared of you anymore, you are nothing. .

^^^thats a coping skill I use it helps!!!!
