The cardiologist gave them to me for pvcs. No way. I took them once and that was it. I'm surprised they are trying them for anxiety. Not sure what type you have but I have dealt with it most of my life. It's a long process, but for me drugs weren't an option. They make me more anxious! I meditate, but the biggest help for me was my bike and my dog. There are alot of things to go through, it doesn't happen overnight. But that's another story, PM me if you ever want to vent...

I've been taking atenolol for years for HBP. It's very effective at keeping my bp down. I don't know if it shoots up if you abruptly stop, I think it just goes back to what it would be if it wasn't under control with the drug. I have had no adverse side effects, but my dose is pretty low. Taking it at higher levels might be different.

Well all I can say at this point is it is definatly hormone related. I have been keeping a journal and I seem to have them at around the same time for the past three months. I am going a more natural route. Eating more Green veggie's, meditating, biking just trying to breath and lay off myself. I have gone through something like this before and know I can get over it. I have a vitamine I am taking right now called Optivite. It is a medical grade vitamine for pms. I know it will take a couple months to see if it will work. I just need to keep my brain calm. Ohhhhhhmmmm!
