[Bl...] Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 I remember in my early 30's taking atenolol beta blocker for event associated anxiety that induced heart issues(heart palpitations). I also remember it wasn't easy stopping the med after 3-4 months use...that's a guess on how long I used it by the time I stopped using it. I did not taper it. If I had, getting off would have been pretty painless. Are you taking any supplements? I find some can cause heart palps. Sorry you are struggling so.

[Gr...] Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 If you are having problems with your heart, a doctor might be able to give you non-benzo medication to help control your symptoms. I know there are at least a handful of people who get a prescription for beta blockers during withdrawal to help control different issues. When it comes to heart problems, it's always a good idea to be cautious and at least get it checked out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest [Ka...] Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I would be one who has taken a beta-blocker (Propranolol) during my taper :-) It has been hugely helpful and even tho I am nearly two months post-taper, I continue to take it. That and magnesium have been my two what-would-I-have-done-without-them?? meds. If I have to stay on the Propranolol, so be it. Small price to pay.

Those drugs are very dangerous. I could never get back on them long term. Anything but a one shot deal is long term for me. If I had concerning heart issues in acute w/d, I would have definitely tried a beta blocker. I'm glad you are getting relief. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
