I am unfamiliar with the term PIP... from what it sounds like in my area may be like SSDI/ SSI....I don't know the criteria in your area re: mental health issues that would qualify for short or long term disability..you should ask someone in your area who works for that dept...or advocates for these cases. I have been on Propranolol for anxiety in past..no worsen of symptoms or hallucinations but didn't do anything for my anxiety/panic attacks and since it is a beta blocker and I tend to have low blood pressure to begin w/..it made me very dizzy, nauseous, and fatigued... so I was switched to a Benzo which I have been on now for yrs... is very helpful for both maintenance and as a PRN...but it is starting to reek havoc on my already eradicate cognitive functioning and withdrawals if I were to go off of it are extremely painful and VERY dangerous... I have been on a snail paced taper for a couple of yrs now, which have been stopped at current dsg...until a full neuro imaging work up can be completed bc I've started to show warning signs for possible underlying seizure disorder and this med may arm be the only thing keeping them at bay....so sorry I got a bit off track...my brain just ain't what she used to be
