So I'm going back to work Saturday after 3 weeks off. I feel I need to go back as the anxiety is not going to go away being at home everyday and ill end up not wanting to go back at all if I leave it too long. I have been given 40 mg propanolol and citralopram 30mg which I have not started taking together yet I just want some advice from people that are on this medication do they work well together?...when is the best time to take them to see the benifits of it? I want to go back to work feeling relaxed with hardly any anxiety symptoms thats gonna affect me whilst driving?..I know I won't get rid of it completely but if I'm going to try some medication to help I want some good ones...or do you recommend trying something else?

    Hi

    I took Citalopram for years and always took it first thing on a morning. It might take a few weeks for it to work fully. Propanalol has a much quicker effect and will help with heart palpitations and rapid breathing. I believe you can take that at any point when you feel these symptoms.

    Hope it helps!

    Hello,

    I think you must take your meds as your MD said. Anyway you can start with 10 mg propranolol at bed time. Propranolol is ok for anxiety for some individuals. What are your symtoms ? Best regards
