I've posted few times not having it easy atm

I'm on 10mg propranolol twice daily and 5mg escitalopram i started 3 days ago i took escitalopram this morning and tried stopping propranolol but got to 10ish this eve and my skin started burning and my pulse was in the 80s (in 70a normal for me) so i could feel my heart thumping which got me panicked so i had to take a propranolol as i thought maybe my pharmacist was wrong and you cant just stop beta blockers instantly . or I'm not sure if it's the aide effects from the new antidepressant but i took that this morn . so I'm worrying now thinking it's got definitely be something wrong with my heart 😭 I do feel calmer since taking the propranolol

    hi Natalie, you are most likely experiencing the side effects of the antidepressants this happens to everyone and is horrible it really is but hang on in and battle through these do subside after a few weeks it did for me as your body gets used to them. as for propranolol you can take them when you need to this does exactly what you experienced making you feel calmer i have them and also take when needed to calm me down the really work. the anitdepressants take a while to work but they do you will find yourself going backwards and forwards with them
