Anxiety treatment

[Hardtotalk]

I have been taking Propranolol 80mg twice daily for Anxiety.The thing is,I think it’s getting worse due to possible Menopause symptoms.Is there anything I could do or take to stop this from re-occurring every 3-4 weeks.It is getting very debilitating at work.I also take Duloxetine 60mg daily for depression.Any advice would be appreciated..

Thankyou

Hi Hardtotalk, and welcome to the forum. It would be advisable to arrange an appointment with your GP to discuss your medication and how you are feeling. If the dosage of your medication needs to be altered, this will need to be monitored by your GP. Also, your GP can usually confirm whether you are menopausal based on your symptoms, but a blood test to measure your hormone levels may be carried out. Many effective treatments can be prescribed to treat menopausal symptoms, if this is what you are experiencing. I hope this is helpful to you. Please stay on the forum where you will receive help and support from other members. Are there any members who can help Hardtotalk with some advice, please? Thank you and best wishes.

Thankyou for your reply, today I took an extra propranolol at lunchtime as I couldn’t settle. It is difficult to get an appt so will have to manage just taking the extra one when needed until it calms down again,I just hope it doesn’t last too long again.
