I have delt with anxiety my whole life, it has held me back from my full potential in life. You look about 19 or 20, I am 47, please dont let anxiety ruin your life like it has mine. I hope all the very best for you young lady.
Chad I really hope things improve for you. Things have vastly improved for me over the years since I posted this video and I have every hope for you as well! Loads of love!!
thanks for sharing , im starting beta blockers now , but i do CBT aswell . i doo hope you feel better now , i really felt you watching this video . you show baws ! respect. sending hugs . k
I get that when I'm commuting except it's both to and from work/school...Actually, I get it all day every day really. Every lecture the whole lecture I can barely breathe and no one is even looking at me. This has been my whole life and I tried beta blockers for the first time 2 days ago and omg they work. Yes, there is a large placebo effect but that's because I'm not getting the random adrenaline rushes to begin with. No caffeine definitely had an effect but I learned after being caffeine free that sadly that wasn't causing it. Being able to walk down the street for the first time 2 days ago and commute on the bus to school without feeling like a lion's about to jump out and kill me was even more amazing than I thought it would be. After feeling normal I can't believe I've lived my whole life like that. I'm able to talk to people and look them in the eyes. Also I spoke in lecture for the first time 2 days ago with the beta blocker and didn't have a panic attack it was the weirdest thing. I never thought I'd ever be able to speak like that.
It's so sad to hear what you've been through, and particularly your not wanting people to look at you when you are clearly a very beautiful girl that people would naturally want to look your way. I suffered terrible PTSD after an injury when I was serving in the Royal Marines and it took a lot of time, support from friends and Seroxat (investigate before trying that drug - it has a very high suicide rate in the USA). Now, years later I am starting to struggle (I now work in the NHS so it's a different kind of stress compared to the military!). My GP has just prescribed Propranolol so I hope it takes things down and gets me through the day. I wish you all the best - I know this is an old video so hopefully you are in a much better place in your life now x
Hey all the best to you! PTSD is a pain in the arse I have a close friend who was in the army and worked with him to try help him get healed from all that. He’s doing so much better now so I have high hopes for you also! And yeah thanks I’m doing tons better since the video. Thanks for your comment!
Thank you for this video. I have the same exact feeling about people looking at me. I have developed really bad social anxiety that it’s hard for me to talk to people. When I am talk to someone I get internal tremors because I get so anxious and nervous I don’t know why? It’s been so bad that I can’t leave my house. I’ve tried about 8 different anxiety meds and they always make me feel worse/weird. My doctor today prescribed me propranolol and I did not go to the pharmacy to pick it up. I think I’m just nervous or scared to try it but after watching your video I’ve decided ok I’m picking it up tomorrow. Now I’m worried about what if it does save me from my mental health and then my doctor takes it away? Thank you again for this video! Loved it!
Deborah thanks for commenting. Anxiety is a wee turd! Just try propanolol and see what happens. You sound more sensible and mature than me and I’m sure you can have a chat with your doctor about using it longer term if you find it helps. I was young in this video and felt unable to voice my needs! Since this video I’ve come to the conclusion that my anxiety stemmed from being perfectionist at work and racing around trying to get things done in record time (which then got my heart rate and adrenaline up and sort of initiated the fight/ flight response) accompanied by an unhealthy thought life. I only realised a few years ago that you can agree or disagree with thoughts that come into your head, and that disagreeing with negative thoughts towards yourself is powerful. Finally I restored my faith in (and relationship with) God which has helped me more than I can ever tell you. All the best to you and a massive hug xxx
I would feel the same only when i had to present in class. i would feel nervous shaky voice etc, took one pill 40 mg about an hour before so, and i was super calm no shaky voice or nothing, in my head i was a bit nervous but i noticed how calmed and relaxed i was so it went well.
Thanks for video really helped me even you talking about now has calmed me. Gonna get myself into the doctors don't want counselling going through a lot of stress at the minute and I really suffer from anxiety, makes me so ill I can't eat I've got no appetite I throw up a lot this last week I've literally lost half a stone I really need to get a grip on it I'm usually a strong person so it's gonna kill me to admit I need help but I really do this time. Anyways thanks for the video really appreciate it
+Luke Stopp hey no problem, You're extremely brave to even admit to yourself that you need to get some help. That's the hardest part over! Good luck at the doctor's - let me know how it goes if you feel like it and you can message on here any time if things are getting too much. Hugs!! XX
@@sherbetstraw haha even late reply from me now but I’m doing amazing. Completely moved past the hard time in my life. Cut out a lot of the problems and simplified my life as much as I could. I’m in a much better place now. Thanks for asking even so many years later it means a lot. Hope your alright as well.
I began taking them today, not sure if I feel improvements yet but I'll have to see. I'm glad to hear there isn't any side effects because I've been on epilepsy medication which makes you gain weight like a whale and other epilepsy tablets which give you nightmares during the day. Thanks for the cool video ☺
Ah I hope they have worked for you!! Yeah I didn't have any weight gain or anything on these which is always a relief! :-P whaaat that epilepsy stuff sounds AWFUL!!!
I've been on Propranolol for about 2 weeks now for anxiety and it's affected my behaviour especially in school and it's mucked up my sleeping pattern. Going to get seen at the mannor some point soon but until then I'm on Propranolol
It might make you feel more tired but shouldn't really affect your behaviour or sleep i wouldn't think. But talk to your doctor and there might be something else out there thats better suited to you! Good luck and just message back on here if you ever need to chat and I can add you on fb.
Don't beg, just tell him or her they're working for you and you want to continue.. and YES you can take beta blockers long term.. People that have high blood pressure take them forever, people that have arrhythmias also... If that doctors say's no, go to another doctor who will listen to you....
Hi there, thanks for the video! Keep doing what you're doing, you seem like a very interesting person and I'd like to hear more from you. I'm thinking of getting these so I'm not as nervous when recording CZcams Vids.
thanks! Yeah it might help although they are more for "fight or flight" feelings which I'm not sure if you'd quite get doing youtube videos? Or do you feel the same as you would when you do public speeches? It's different for everyone.
Hey! Thanks for sharing. I'm looking into taking beta blockers, specifically propranolol, for anxiety symptoms, but I've heard it can make you tired or cause weight gain.. And along with those, exercise is affected by making you tire more easily. I know you said you didn't really have any side effects, so you didn't experience any of these? I just don't know if it'll be worth it if I were to have these side effects.
Hey so sorry for late reply (took me a year LOL!). They can apparently lessen your exercise tolerance (due to the fact they stop your heart from being able to beat as fast) but I've not really had any issues with that except when I first started them and I just felt a bit more tired than normal when I played tennis. It leveled out though. Would definitely recommend trying them.
Hi, thanks for the vid - really helpful. I was given beta blockers by my GP about a year ago but he gave me the lowest dosage of 5mg which didn't do much for me, though I've heard how big you are (petite or larger build) can affect a drugs effectiveness. Just curious what dosage your GP gave you and if he/she recommended how often to take them? Also, if it's not too personal - How did you find counselling? My GP suggested it to me a while ago but I didn't have the cojones to go through with it (I have social anxiety). Thanks! The positive message at the end of the vid was cool too, put a smile on my face :)
+Scouski Hey! Thanks for your message! Yeah I just looked at my prescription and I was on 80mg modified release 1 a day. I definitely agree that a dose of medication can have different effects on different people but i don't think it's all to do with the size if the person. My sister is roughly the same height and dress size as me but any time she takes medication, drinks alcohol, has anaesthetic at the hospital or even one of my sleeping pills she finds it has far less effect on her and often needs to ask for the dose to be upped. Basically i think the concept of being a "lightweight" when it comes to alcohol can apply to prescription drugs as well. 5mg sounds like a really low dose so maybe you should try to up it to 20-40mg if your doctor will let you. I think the reason i got 80mg is because my doctor thought it would be for short term use.. i don't think 80mg is a long term sort of dose. Could be wrong though. Counselling can be extremely helpful for some people but it's quite tough as well. I tend to keep things to myself so when I do share stuff with a councillor i find it really scary, draining and a bit uncomfortable. But when you voice something out loud that you haven't shared with anyone before, THAT is when you can start to sort out the problem. It's easy to push your problems to the back of your mind and counselling is good for making sure you bring those issues to the surface and work through them! I'd say that you may need to try a few counsellors to find one that you are really comfortable with though.. i know that I changed around a few times and thats completely normal and ok. If you have any other questions fire away! Good luck with everything and i'm glad i got a smile out of you in my vid! X
Scouski hey do you have thick foamy saliva caused by inderal propanol my life ruined I have layrangeal reflux disease and was having sore throat then this thick foamy saliva back mouth
Mazin Lakho No, I never had any side effects from propranolol at 80mg or even 160mg. Coincidentally, I have had trouble with acid reflux though nothing to do with propranolol.
You can buy propranolol through online pharmacies without a prescription for a much lower price, which is great if you don't have insurance. No need to dick around with a doctors office.
Hi there. Thank you for your video. Very informative. I really hope you are doing well. I suffer with terrible anxiety. I have been prescribed these. Please could you tell me the dose that you were taking when you first got them? Thank you. 😊
Hi there! Thanks so much for messaging! I am so sorry to say that I have no idea what the dose was now because it was so long ago. I hope it works for you! Are you getting counselling or anything alongside? Feel free to message any time I am here for ya! Xx
@@sherbetstraw Thank you for your reply. I am nit receiving counselling as of yet but that's the plan. 😊. The propranolol seems to be working pretty well so far so see how I go. Thank you for your supportive words.. I shall give you a shout if things get worse. So glad you are doing better now. Best wishes from me x
@@chrismckinnon5430 That's brilliant I'm glad you have a plan!! Yeah propanolol seems to work well for most people which is amazing. Be kind to yourself and yeah do reach out any time ! Thanks yeah its a relief to be doing so much better, and I believe the same will happen for you ! Love to you x
I’m doing really well thanks Shem! I ended up getting more of the propranolol and I’m not off them again (have been for years now) and am doing great! I just needed them for that period in my life where my physical symptoms were out of control!
Hi I've just been prescribed these today.....I smoked green my entire life. I'm bipolar. Etc.......I also take lamotrigine, venlafaxine. Good subject....😊
I still spend a lot of time alone...I'm sure it will pass, once I find something to engage my mind in a more pleasant way, thanx for responding hope you have a great day 😉
Never too late to take up some new hobbies and build some friendships! And hopefully you will feel less anxious in social situations now so it will be easier! Best of luck :-D
@@sherbetstraw I have been doing homeopathic supplements and natural supplements and I have cut caffeine out for years and they do help but I still have bouts off crippling anxiety from time to time, but I have a very high stress job that I own and I have had some traumatic events happen over the years and so this is the main cause but back in 2013 I had surgery and was put on percocet for pain and I got addicted to that drug and I knew I needed to come off of it but when trying the withdrawals were brutal with very high anxiety and so it was then when I was put on valium and I took them daily for 4 months and it simply turned absolutely evil on me my anxiety went from level 10 to level 30 and had respiratory depression and my BP was 200/120 and was in hospital for nearly 3 weeks but even after that I continued to withdrawal from valium and percocet for the next 1.5 years and then eventually it got better but now anytime that there is a stressful time or a traumatic event the first place my anxiety starts is in my lungs cause of valium that I took 8 years ago and have been clean of benzos for 8 years but when my anxiety gets going in my lungs its crippling and sometimes it's an ER visit for oxygen and my drs. Know my situation so they know the routine, and so in my honest opinion benzodiazepines will destroy your life mentally and physically and even when being off of them for years I believe this damage is permanent they are simply satan's drug. Thanks for commenting and your concerns. Anxiety is no joke.
+matt b You definitely should find a new doctor if he/she is not taking you seriously. I've had friends experience the same thing - some doctors are amazing and some are very unsympathetic. Don't give up, just make a new appointment and ask to see a different doctor this time. Best of luck xx
Did they make you depressed at all? I asked my doctor not to give me antidees as it is my anxiety that I think is coursing my depression but I think the blockers are making it worse. After I realized this I found out that depression is a side effect of blocker. I don't know what to do.
I didn't find it changed my moods/ made me feel depressed. Anxiety and depression can come hand in hand though. I hope you're doing a bit better but feel free to message me if you ever need to talk. christina menzies edinburgh on facebook
Hey yeah I managed to get more from the GP but stopped taking it after a year or so! It’s all so long ago that I don’t really remember too much now but I’m happy to say I’m now about 95% anxiety free and medication free as well 😄
Yeah they can feel like that if the dose is too high? You can feel a bit shaky. I only experienced this after coming off them and going back on and the first day I felt a bit weird but after that was fine.
@@FREAK12111 I would say that when your body feels more calm (ie. no racing heart) then it is easier for your mind to be calmer. The medication doesn’t target the brain though. I think counselling, self reflection, or faith in God is the most useful for sorting through thoughts/ feelings that are unhelpful to you. That’s just my personal view though obviously! Hope you’re ok? I know it’s really tough feeling anxious so all the best to you xx

Thanks Ash :-)
Thanks for the heads up on propranolol. I'm sure the doctor will prescribe you more if you ask him. If it's helping u I don't see why not.

+matt b You definitely should find a new doctor if he/she is not taking you seriously. I've had friends experience the same thing - some doctors are amazing and some are very unsympathetic. Don't give up, just make a new appointment and ask to see a different doctor this time. Best of luck xx
Did they make you depressed at all? I asked my doctor not to give me antidees as it is my anxiety that I think is coursing my depression but I think the blockers are making it worse. After I realized this I found out that depression is a side effect of blocker. I don't know what to do.
I didn't find it changed my moods/ made me feel depressed. Anxiety and depression can come hand in hand though. I hope you're doing a bit better but feel free to message me if you ever need to talk. christina menzies edinburgh on facebook

I can totally understand you hating people look at you. It makes me aggressive......you sound completely like me
*Hello..... its 5 years....... 😊. ... still did u taking proponolol ? ? How r u now ? Pls share ur feed back*
Hey yeah I managed to get more from the GP but stopped taking it after a year or so! It’s all so long ago that I don’t really remember too much now but I’m happy to say I’m now about 95% anxiety free and medication free as well 😄
@@sherbetstraw wow... tats great i m glad to hear tat....😊 now did u taking any kind of antidepressants like ssri instead of proponolol ?
@@mufi809 no, when I came off the propranolol I didn’t take anything else and haven’t taken anything in the 4 years after that
Your anxiety, do you also have brain fog,migraines headaches, fatigue,admonial pain you may have a condition call mast cell disorder
Thanks for your reply but I didn't have brain fog, headaches or abdominal pain so I think it was just the anxiety
Ola Hey I'am 15 should I take it?
yeah I don't think theres an age limit, just see your doctor and see what he/ she would recommend
They make me wobbly and I very fatigued
Yeah they can feel like that if the dose is too high? You can feel a bit shaky. I only experienced this after coming off them and going back on and the first day I felt a bit weird but after that was fine.
Do you feel any sense of euphoric state?
No not at all. It just calms your fight or flight symptoms of racing heart and sweatiness etc!
@@sherbetstraw does it calm that subtle feeling of anxiousness? What about for socializing?
@@FREAK12111 I would say that when your body feels more calm (ie. no racing heart) then it is easier for your mind to be calmer. The medication doesn’t target the brain though. I think counselling, self reflection, or faith in God is the most useful for sorting through thoughts/ feelings that are unhelpful to you. That’s just my personal view though obviously! Hope you’re ok? I know it’s really tough feeling anxious so all the best to you xx
Haw you any antidep to?
I was on antidepressants in the past (before I tried the beta-blockers). They didn't work for me but they might work for others.
I'd love talk to u do u have kik Ive been suffering two years but my docter looked and spoke to me like a piece of shit
