I swapped between Metoprolol and Propranolol after my first Panic Attack in 1982, right up to 2013. I suffer terribly from severe Anxiety and Panic Attacks brought on by interacting with people and eating, mainly.

In '08 I had a heart attack and in '13 my Cardiologist changed my heart meds so I could no longer take beta blockers. I was doing well at the time, meditation was strengthening my mind and the combination of that and meds kept everything under control. That was all wrecked by a terrible Psychologist, so I am back to square one with no meds to use as support. No meditation, either, my physical pain issues have curtailed that at the moment.

While I have been damaged by Psychologists, the majority are only interested in helping and work to that end. However, it is important to always remember that we are the Employer, they are there to address our issues and a rapport is paramount, otherwise progress is impossible. I will always reccommend good Therapy as part of the treatment for issues such as ours.
