Guest guest Posted May 16, 2008 Report Share Posted May 16, 2008 Hello, I am new to this group and I was looking at the file, " Psychiatric symptoms caused by common drugs " and I noticed that one of the medications I had stopped a few months ago was listed. It was the beta-blocker Atenolol. Now I am only 22 years old and I had only been on a small dosage of Atenolol for a few months. I felt I was incorrectly treated as they were given for panic attacks. I did my research and decided to take myself off of it. I did so gradually of course. Now my question is, since I took this medication before, do the symptoms that came along with it still exist with me? I have been living with depression, hypochondria, and anxiety since I was a young teenager. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 17, 2008 Report Share Posted May 17, 2008 my opinion is after you stop taking the drug; the side effects you werer experiencing will go away; and there will be no drug in system; you do want to control your anxiety issues; I use Valerian Root alot.--- In , " loxian.amaranth " <loxian.amaranth wrote: > > Hello, I am new to this group and I was looking at the file, > " Psychiatric symptoms caused by common drugs " and I noticed that one > of the medications I had stopped a few months ago was listed.
