hi a few years ago after losing my father suddenly to a heart attack while i was pregnant i found myself getting what i thought was symptoms of a heart attack, i know now its panic attacks so ive been through so many medications minus the drugs that make u drowsy because i have a child so dont want to be feeling disorientated... anyways, recently i feel like they arent doing what they used to, im on slow release propranolol 80mg a day and fluoxitine 50mg a day, sometimes if im bad my dr puts me on busprione too... just feel s****y and drinking a bit more just to have some control over how i feel, i know its a depressant but it makes me feel normal and i dont get hangovers!

do i need my medication increased maybe?

    hello, you might be able to increase prozac to 60mg, but as you are taking a beta blocker as well, theres probably not much point. think you would benefit from a complete med review, as it doesnt look like your current ones are doing it any more. drinking complicates it, and you need to stop. very short term gain, but long term pain.

    if you are not already doing so, try to see a pysc, as they will be much more capable of recommending a med solution for you.
