 Hi all I am suffering from bad anxiety and I'm on 10mg propranolol at the moment but they don't seem to help much I'm wondering if there is any medication that will stop my horrible thoughts running through my head I asked my doctor and he says there was no medication that will stop the thoughts they will all just calm you down and calm your heart rate propranolol are helping with

with that side of it I'm only 19 year old and don't want to go on any medication that will become addictive and give me a lot of side effects I went on propranolol because family hsd been on it before but they aren't helping im only young I just want to be enjoying nights out with friends and family but instead I'm locking myself away from everyone And scared about dying

Hi lovey,

no propranolol will not stop scary thoughts. One of the ssri tablets will. Take about 21 days to work. They are not supposed to be addictive, but one becoms used to them..I just wanted to be carefree and happy. So I have been taking them for twenty years.every time I try to come off them Istart getting worrying thoughts,  so have decided to

You are not clear what type of Anxiety you have... No Medication will work till the time you find the root cause... Most Doctor do the Patching work of precribing anti depressent mdeication instead of going deep to find the root cause for the problem. I can advice you only when I know what type of anxiety you have.

I am a suffered of Health Anxiety so I learned how to solve this...remedy works depending upon problem...

Hi Daniella,

I too am suffering from anxiety and as a result I have IBS and I have stomach pains on a daily basis. I am only 20 and I know exactly what you mean! I feel I never want to socialise because I get so anxious it triggers my IBS symptoms.

I have has three hypnotherapy sessions and within the sessions have had some CBT and learnt tapping - since these sessions I feel more positive and calmer about situations that used to get me worked up. Maybe hypno and/or CBT is an option for you? Especially as you do not want to take tablets. I hope you get better soon!
