My primary care doctor had prescribed me a few different medications for my anxiety, I tried a few and had worsening anxiety and physical symptoms so I stopped taking them. He then prescribed clonidine and I did NOT take it...it has been sitting in a drawer for months because I have been too scared to try it without seeing him again first. I have an appointment on the 12th with another provider in his office but I have been back to the emergency room for chest pains and other symptoms twice now. I am nervous about the cardiac symptom side effects it warns about, I already have enough chest pain and palpitations without taking this medication but this anxiety or whatever it is has made my life a living hell. I am not going to start it until after my face to face visit with the doctor in a few days but wanted to know of other experiences with this medication for anxiety specifically. My daughter took it a few years ago for her ADHD but she didn't have the best results with it for that. Also I am already on a blood pressure medication and am worried the two together could lower my blood pressure too much...anyway...I have anxiety, I worry lol.
Hi rachael i wish you the best results . Can i ask you your symptoms ?
