Indearl

hey everyone i havnt been on here for a while... I was taking citalopram (celexa) for anxiety panic disorder and was always light headed, felt tired, weak, sore muscles just crapty. I had taken it before no problem so not sure why now is a problem. but anyway My Dr prescribed me Inderal or propranolol 60mg. Has anyone taken this for anxiety? Its main thing seems to be blood pressure but helping with anxiety also. I get sharp chest pains my blood pressure spikes like 200/120. this last attack it was 190/110 now its dropping at 135/95 normall its 115/75 or lower like 105/65. let me know if you have had succeess or failure with this med for anxiety!

Thanks and take care

My personal experience on this med was similar to what you initially described. My body did not like it one bit.

Although it's a beta blocker, (and yes, sometimes used for anxiety, often quite successfully), when I took it, I had incredible night sweats, shakes and tremors, and my heart was racing, and I felt a lot of pressure in my chest. I was very agitated.

The overall sensation I had was that I was still extremely anxious, but this med made it so my body was too lethargic and heavy to react or respond to that anxiety.

Let us know how you make out!
