Adrenaline surges are just the worst!!!!my tummy and solar plexus feel awful all day every day.makes me lightheaded and generally feel like hell 24/7.

Does anyone know of a tablet that helps this? X

Mine finally went away when I was put on a beta blocker. Thank goodness cause that was one of the worse feelings ever. Hope you feel better soon.

I'm on 25mg once a day of metropolol (I always spell it wrong lol) But I was stubborn, I was supposed to be on it a few years ago because my heart rate was always 90-120 with me not doing anything, then it just got worse and the adrenaline wouldnt stop, so finally I said the heck with this feeling and started taking it, thank goodness.

I think one of the classic things with anxiety disorders is to be frightened to take the medicine.which seems ridiculous but its a real fear.

How long have you had anxiety for?

I started in my teens, then early 20's it hit me hard with anxiety, depression agoraphobia etc, so was put on paxil for about 8 years. Got off was good for 10 years, then turned 40 this past November and the anxiety hit me again (plus had a crummy year last year) which that all added to it. So now been on 10mg of prozac and 25mg of beta blocker for about 8 months now.
