What medications/supplements do you take for either or both of these issues?
I currently take:
klonopin wafers .25mg 2xdaily for anxiety
ativan as needed for anxiety (I take MAYBE .25mg a month LOL)
propranolol 20-30mg 4xdaily for SVT/PVCs
I also take calcium/magnessium and fish oil for both issues.
I am likely switching to a different med in liu of the propranolol soon (because it is causing me exercise induced asthma) and it has me nervous. I have talked to several Drs and a pharmacist about their opinions and I am getting totally mixed messages!!
General Dr said she thinks metroprol is what I should take.
Psychiatrist was always happy I was on propranolol and thought it was a great med for me due to the fact that it helps with BOTH anxiety and SVT. He said the metropol may cause heightened anxiety. I do NOT want this...I would rather have the asthma!!
Allergist said I should take atenolol. I have heard bad things about this one.
The cardiologist NP is calling me back tomorrow with their opinion.
I am on Zoloft 25mg, Xanax .25 as needed, and 25 mg. of Metoprolol 2x a day. I have had no problems with it, at least nothing noticeable. I am on it for a high heart rate/random eposide of atrial fibrillation. My anxiety has gotten better over the last several months so I don't think it has caused hightened anxiety....just makes me a little sleepy if anything (and I'm not even sure if it does that). I take it around 9am and 9pm. Hope it works for you! Let me know if you have any other questions!
I am hoping that if I have to be switched to the metoprol that the klonopin will take care of the anxiety aspect if it were to get worse. It has done a terrific job at keeping the anxiety at bay so far!
It is all so annoying. I wish I could just be normal!!!
