I've been on Beta-blockers (Propranolol) for a year now. By December, I was taking 40mg, three times a day. In May, I ended up in hospital and it was decided that I was most likely addicted to them and I needed to come off.
Now I'm feeling really really panicked. I'm on 20mg in the morning and no more, and I can't shake this feeling of panic. I can't deal with it right now. I really can't. I'm terrified to leave the house. That, and the fact that I'm hearing other peoples thoughts and my mood swings are happening really fast-due to what I think is this Prozac/Flouextine that everyone is convinced is the magic cure for my anxiety issues, despite the fact that I've been on it for months now and honestly? I'm sick of this feeling of flipping between hypomania and depression several times a damn day.
I can feel the voices coming back as well. And I'm getting scared.
CMHT is considering referring me to the Early Onset Team.
Anyone have any ideas on how to persuade my GP to change my meds? To convince them of my ups and downs. For some reason, they don't seem to be fully believing that my antidepressants are making my cycle really fast.
