Well I got given Propranolol and some other pills off doctor today I then took one of each as told to and then read em up online now I can't settle feel sick with worry that I may die in my sleep tonight only taken one of each very scared tbh x
I know how you feel I do this with every med and believe me I've tried them all hence why I now have to try and survive without meds.you will be fine I've tried propranapol it never harmed me just made me paranoid about my heart.try and be strong and get some sleep xxx oh and stop googling xx
Ah this is the danger of google, we all do it -i do, and its just such a bad idea. Remember theres no assurance that what you read online is accurate, and a side effect will not happen to a large majority. The chances of a severe reaction is actually amazingly small. Trust your doc, and please dont google!
No matter what medication you may be prescribed, for whatever illness, there is always a list as long as your arm of " possible side effects". even Optrex and Indigestion Remedies carry certain warnings!
The manufacturers are obliged to print these to cover themselves in case of very RARE reactions.
Take Courage...that is the best medicine!
Be Brave x
Just remember that often some of the more extreme reactions that can occur from medication are due to their interaction with other medications i.e. when I was on a penicillen based antibiotic I worried about having a seizure because it said that chances of that happening were increased with that but then I found out that it's because it interferes with epilepsy medication. So just try to relax a little if you can 
I hope you feel better soon!
Ty guys I went to sleep only for hour and bit feel horrible tbh gonna try without meds I think because side effects and worry that comes with meds is sending me into a panic all of its own x
i can relate to that, i never take meds- never, for just those reasons, for me its just not worth it. i know for many they work very well indeed, i dont doubt they do - but for me, not an option
Well I don't think there for me either because I just can't stop worrying and iv only take one of each that was yesterday on afternoon I feel now wide awake with worry I just want them out my system x
Then dont worry, meds arent the be all and end all, therapy can work every bit as well, sometimes better
I have been referred to a councillor and breathing classes and stuff so hoping that will work rather then the tablets I can't stop worrying about the tablets iv taken may only be one of each but still worrying x
If you were to have a reaction, it would probably happen pretty quick, for lesser reactions those would happen after a while of taking them. Your ok, its over with now. Deep breathes and look forward to therapy
Ty I hope It helps I can do this a strong mind is a healthy mind i will over come it ty x
Just give it time, take it as it comes, youll get there
Ty u too x
If these medications were prescribed by your doctor there is probably not the remotest chance that they are dangerous . Looking up meds on Google will drive you to assume you are having adverse reactions. I've looked up symptoms and immediately thought I have some fatal disease. Young medical students,
I have been told, have the same fears when they are first exposed to a host of symptoms. It'.s a natural
reaction. but we have to pull ourselves together (it's not easy, I know) and admit that our imaginations
are running away with us thereby ruining our lives. Do visit or call your doctor expressing your concerns as soon as possible to set your mind at ease. Staying awake nights worrying can make one truly ill.
Believe me I know. I think a counselor will also be beneficial. . Don't entirely reject the idea of
medications. For some people they are life savers. You may have to take them for awhile - probably a
few weeks - before you see the benefits. I take 15 mg. of mirtazapine at bedtime for depression. It seems to be helping even tho I feel sleepy in the afternoon which is one of the side effects, but I can live with
that. I wish you good luck and especially a restful night's sleep.
Oh my dear friend. First, I smile because I have done the same thing. Sometimes, medicine gets it right. Trust your body and trust your doctor. Believe you will be fine. I promise, you will be laughing at yourself in the morning.
Oh and stop using Google. I am in the process of trying to find help with my hypochondria as I am destroying my life from it. I am at the point where I am making myself sick.
I have decided to never look up illness or tablets online again!!! I did start to feel dizzy and have a temp so I far ang 111 and be assured the tablets shall be out of my system by light and I am to consult my doctor in morning to have a chat xx
First the dizziness may be from the anxiety. It is a common and real feeling. As may be your temperature. I promise Sophie, you are okay. I took a pill once from my doctor not wanting it, but took it anyway. I had a rash all over my body. I couldn't wait to go yell at her for it. But then realized, it might not have been the pill but the countless hours stressing about what it did to me.
The only good thing from it was I forgot why I took the damn thing in the first place. So whatever was ailing me, faded.
I know feeling very tired now tbh but can't sleep I rang because I over paniced and felt faint and as have a 3 year old and live alone with my child I can't chance passing out but I was assured the tablets will be out my system soon and systems I feel are thru either over thinking the pills I took or side effects but wear off quick ish as been over 12 hours now x
