Anxiethy, Inderal and Paxil

by SkipNBeat, Jun 03, 2007 12:00AM
Hi, I recently started taking Inderal for a rapid heart beat, and it's working well keeping my bpm down. It's helped some with the anxiety and palpitation symptoms as well, but I'm considering additional medication.  I've tried several Buspar, Prozac, Wellbutrin etc and now I'm considering Paxil. Lexapro, like the others, worked for a while but I recently developed serious anxiety increases while going back on it.
Wellbutrin caused additional anxiety as well.  Does anyone have experience with Paxil and anxiety/cardiac symptoms?  Anyone experience more/less palpitation symptoms on Paxil?  Anyone experience an increase (or decrease) in anxiety/cardiac symptoms on Paxil.  Tia.

I have taken paxil for 10 years now...it has worked for me...however, I truly do not know what side effects I had when starting it...the reason being that I was such a total mess and was so symptomatic that I wouldn't know which were my anxiety symptoms are which were the side effects!  The only thing I do know is that it helped to give me my life back...best to you in finding the right medication.

Your right about wellbutrin making the anxiety worse.  I take it along with Inderal and Klonopin and the combination of those work great for me.  The wellbutrin helps my depression the Inderal the shaky hands, heart racing, sweating and blushing.  Klonopin (the best pill I have ever taken) work GREAT for my anxiety.  I also take Elavil at bedtime to help me sleep.  I hope you find something soon.  Take care........
