Is proponal a benzodiazepine
I was so against antidepressants but was having panic attacks every day. I got on them and was like oh my god! I don’t have to live this way any more? I’ve been on mine for probably 6 years now and my quality of life is so much better. I will probably be on them for life. I really wouldn’t worry about it too much.
No, not at all. Propranolol is a beta blocker (heart medicine). It treats physical symptoms of anxiety and panic attacks.
I'm not currently on medication but I have been on medication on and off for over a decade. Prozac is one of the oldest ones so it's well researched. I was on fluroxatine (prozac) for years and I only came off of it because I started feeling bad I can't swollow capsules and I know the liquid is expensive to the NHS (like over £400 per bottle and I had 8 a month where the capsules are like £30 max). Honestly wasn't my best idea coming off medication and I will be going back on medication when I'm done breast feeding. Try to see it like a physical illness you would need tablets for. It's a medical necessity a lot of the time.
Is anybody else on Prozac. Todays my day 5 but don’t feel any different yet, does Prozac calm you down aswell with physical symptoms of shaking etc ?
Hi, I’m on sertraline for anxiety and depression and I always worry if it effects my body and having another child. But I’m worse without them. I’ve tried to come off them so many times and I always have panic attacks without them.
Honestly I've gotten used to meds for my mental health. I'd rather feel "normal" than crying, raging, unregulated, pms, etc etc etc. I've suffered from 12-28 with no meds and being a mean. I am audhd, pmdd, gad, mdd.
It won’t cause any harm to your body. I’ve been on an SSRI for almost 15 years and it’s okay. Some people need daily medication to feel stable, it’s my case and maybe yours too. Only benzodiazepines are associated with long term side effects.
