Hello

My doctor has recently prescribed me citalipram 10mg and propranolol 10mg. I have been diagnosed with general anxiety disorder I just wanted to know what are the side effects of them and people that have took those medications has it worked? And does it affect your memory in any shape or form?

Thanks

lukas01, the best thing you can do when starting a new medication is to believe that itwill work or you will be defeated before you even start. Listening to other's issues with

medications can do you an injustice. We each react differently and your doctor knows

what is best for you.

Take it with an open mind. Good Luck in going forward and feeling better. :) xx

Hi Lukas , I hope ur well friend , with all medicine I've had over the years I NEVER read th leaflet we get with them , just they worked & fast. However the meds ur taking are long term & they will be fo the best.

So 2 options read the leaflets or look on the manufacture site. U see each of us who have had any medicine will or could experience different things. U may not suffer a single thing , always best to do ur own research Lukas that way its 100% for U.

I am currently at 20 mg two tabs b.i.d. for migraine. Yes, drugs have side effects. But as the others of mentioned it doesn’t mean you’ll get them. If it causes you anxiety to research the drug then don’t do it.I have such a weird responses to medication’s that even if I told you the efficacy for me, it would only be the efficacy for me. Your doctor felt that any potential side effect was worth the risk for the benefit that the drug provides. I wish you luck, keep a happy thought.
