    Hi there, I and a few of us on here have Propranolol to curb the anxiety.  Maybe worth asking your GP?

      Listen to videos on YouTube for anxiety relief, take zoloft 37.5 right now, waiting for it to kick in fully, go to social worker one time a week, mornings are awful, but that's common... Are u on meds? Only take xanax if I NEED TO, don't fight the panic, let it happen, it can't hurt u! X
