common drugs?

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..

I was prescribed the beta blocker Inderal many years ago.

I recall the effects as a slowdown in memory recovery- one says â€œduhâ€ a lot

in between words. One of the other effects I noticed was that I became fearless-

when a situation arose which normally provoked the feelings of a rapidly beating

heart, increased breathing, etc all of a sudden didnâ€™t produce those fear

associated physical reactions anymore.

I didnâ€™t like the slowed thinking and didnâ€™t take it long. Other friends

said the same, and nicknamed it â€œ enditall.â€

In between decades I have seen it used in psychiatric clinic settings to control

anxiety related physical symptoms to assist with drug withdrawl or other

anxiety/panic problems.

And, most of the folks I know and myself included, pretty much went back to

normal after the inderal cleared out of our systemsâ€¦and the only long term

damage I have heard of or read about concerned heart valve problems; and that in

folks that had taken it for lengthy periods.

(More importantly, I noticed Alobar is asking the appropriate question about

diet and intake)
