I suffer with anxiety and 10 years ago the doctor put me on bisoprolol they said temporarily to help my anxiety. As my blood pressure is now low they are taking me off it. I’m happy to be reducing my medication but scared at the same time. What I’m going to feel like and will it make my anxiety worse. I have been taking fluoxetine for two weeks and at the moment I don’t feel any benefit. I could do with some positive feedback please

Prozac wasn’t good for me, but my doc has me on a med to raise my blood pressure because of all the anxiety meds I was on and natural low blood pressure. If possible, go off meds slowly. Like over 90 days or so if possible. Don’t want to shock your system.
