agitation and anxiety over nausea followed surgery then felt depressed about it all. &nbsp;Many anti deps not tolerated. Now on diazepam but still feel bad. &nbsp;Anyone had success with an adjunct med, has been suggested propanolol but not sure about it.

Maybe ask doctor to up dose on diazepam ? I was on 5mg which worked really well for me.

I was also on propanolol which slows the heart rate down and stops you getting panicky, it works.
