Propanolo + Sertraline

Posted , 2 users are following.

Hi everyone,

I've been taking sertraline for five days for GAD. Had

Some side effects.. I usually take propanolo to stop the physical symptoms but noticed my pupils are much bigger than normal. I've started a new job and I work with the public. My team members noticed but didn't say anything, don't want to have to tell my Boss. I didn't take the propanolo yesterday and my eyes were fine, but felt a little bit of anxiety.

I was fine with propanolo before is this issue because of the sertraline? Anyone else experienced

This? Will it subside? I want to continue with both as I don't want heightend anxiety with starting a new drug. I take sertraline at night and propanolo in the morning.

    I don't have the answer but can tell you I'm on the same medication for the last 4 days- what dosage are you on? My doctor told me it takes about 2-3 weeks for your system to settle with sertraline

      I'm on 50mg.. I do feel it's doing something already do you? Hopefully it will settle in a few weeks and can take the propanolo if need be.

      I'm on 50mg for the first week and 100 thereafter and up to 120mg of propanolol a day. I think it's helping a bit but what would help more would be stepping away from google and stopping focusing on every tiny little sensation in my body and convincing myself something is dreadfully wrong- except I can't do that in case something is! Do you know what I mean?

       I keep doing it too it's how I found this forum.  How you finding the combination of theses two drugs? I still need the propanolol but it's causing my pupils to dilate and I can't go to work like that.
