And while you're at it, quit smoking.

I can understand not liking how they make you feel. Some of them are horrific and Sertraline put me off medication for a few years. But if I had gone back to my GP sooner and just told them all this it would have saved a lot of stress and hassle in the long run instead of trying to deal with things by myself, but I was really scared by Sertraline so I understand it.

I'm going to speak about a medication review soon. The anxiety is still there and in stressful situations I'm dissociating still and I don't know if that's something I will just have to live with or whether medication can help that. I'd rather not go down the benzo route tbh.

I dunno. I'd keep trying, Ki.

I've had a thing with pills for a long time because I've been misdiagnosed and prescribed the wrong medicine before. Happens a lot.

Happened to my friend's Grandma too and it literally shortened her life. She was diagnosed with cancer and they accidentally diagnosed the wrong medicine and it wreaked hell on her liver.

Are there any forumistas with experience with propranolol? If so what was it like for you?

I went to urgent care because I had a sore throat and some kind of killer headache. Like the headache was freakish bad and the doctor didn’t think it was related to the sore throat and he gave me propranolol to take together with Xanax for like two weeks and I ****ing loved it.

You sure you didn't just love the xanax?

I have taken propranolol a few times before but it was five years ago or so, and from what I remember it did do it's job but I had a sore stomach as a side effect.

I asked my friend and she got it mixed up with propofol and said it sent her to sleep.

I’m sure. I’ve been on Xanax forever.

Cheers Hawk.

Well I have 56 x 10mg propranolol and I can take whenever I want, one tablet up to three times a day. So I'm looking forward to seeing how they are if that's the right choice of word.

I asked about CBD oil and the GP had no idea about it BTW.

I vape low (but some) THC high CBD medical almost everyday. Just CBD alone if it does anything I can’t tell. Mixed with just a bit of THC is for me a big winner. When I smoke regular nugs I like to warm up with the high CBD vape. It eases me into my high. It almost always improves my mood. I used to be super depressed everyday but now that really creepy depression is a rarity. I’ve also been meditating and focusing on witnessing anger fear and sorrow and acknowledging it and then letting it go. I’m mostly on my own because of how health and mental health care is here but I feel like I’m making a lot of progress. Knock on wood.
