Hi! Long story short went through a trauma 19 years ago which resulted in depression and anxiety .6 mths of hell but I got through it over the years had mild anxiety but I could cope .. last few mths it's come back with a vengeance 😬 .. but every time the gp tries to put me on medication I think it will kill me .. I tried propranalol today and within an hour I was getting all sorts of symptoms tight chest .. sweating but I know its anxiety related nothing medical .. is anyone else scared of taking medication that it would do harm.. I'm not paranoid I generally feel my heart will stop beating if I take beta blockers or any type of antidepressants .. is there such a thing as medication anxiety? 🤔
I think you need to try natural herbs, tea and decoctions, like Motherwort and Valerian. If you can't find it just write me a pm I'll tell you where you'll get it
Hi Sarah, I've seen it quite a few times on this forum where folk are frightened to take their meds, the thing is to take them and see what happens, they can't kill you. The symptoms you exoerienced after taking your meds are your anxiety symptoms rather than the meds themselves but if your unsure speak to your GP. Before trying a bad natural herbs etc I'd consult your gp as some can have contra indications to your meds, better to play it safe.

Hi Sarah, I am so sorry you are going through this again. I had terrible anxiety etc. 39 years ago and now it came back after all these years. What got you better the first time? Was it pills or did you manage on your own? I would hope that what ever got you better the first time will get you better again...
