Hi LOCO5150, Welcome to the anxiety forum...Your doctor is the only one who can control the dose of your medications. I can understand after 10 years that the Ativan was no longer working. That happened to me as well. As for now being on Propranolol that helps with anxiety but because it is a blood pressure pill it can reduce you pressure significantly if the dose is too high.

Do not bump it up to 100mgs, please contact your doctor and let him decide if he might need to up in some or introduce another med with it.

Hi,

I agree with Agora1, you shouldn't adjust your medication yourself. I am a bit curious why you are on propranolol as it is a beta blocker. I was on it for a while because I was regularly having irregular heart beats. Are you on any other Meds for your birthday polar and anxiety?
