Notices

Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now.

Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year.

Default Beta Blocker For Anxiety - Inderal
Doc gave me Inderal (used for high blood pressure) about a month ago. I thought it wasn't doing any good. He uped the dose to 40mg and the anxiety level dropped about half way. It was almost like taking a valium without the drowsey. You might wan't to check into it.

Hey Terry, glad to hear it works well for you! We had a little chat about this and left it in info, you may find in an intersting read... Any added info wold be great!

Propranalol

Me my blood pressure runs low, but they changed the standards so they don't call mine low any more but ideal. Unless I am having an attack and it shoots way up then. One of the few GOOD things on my side. Hubs well he has high BP...

Just be careful Terry, its still a bandaid and won't continue to work forever. Before you know it, you'll be increasing dose again, and again, and again.... until you have surpassed rational use of the drug, just as what happens with all drugs with PTSD.

Hell, I would even recommend you try an acupuncture treatment once a week instead... as you will likely find it will do the same thing, without the drugs.
