Ambulax Etm 0.25 Mg/20 Mg Tablet Health Feed

Dear Aashi,
No drug is safe. You need to take it whenever the benefit exceeds the side effect. If you are using it without doctor's prescription, if you feel safe in storing the tablet, if you are increasing the dose over years, if your main worry is getting the tablet and if you are neglecting your responsibilities, probably you have become dependent on it.
If you are using it to reduce your anxiety, it is better that you learn a non medical method of managing your anxiety.

Doses need to be titrated as all of the anti OCD medications are also antidepressants. Apart from that you need exercise regularly so that your body also naturally tries to cope with depression by releasing endorphins during exercise. Endorphins are natural antidepressants and make mood better. Avoid caffeinated drinks as they will worsen anxiety and depression. Do some breathing exercises and relaxation techniques.

I agree with you that medicines for anxiety are habit forming and should be avoided. reduce your weight by eating more of seasonal vegetables and fruits and reduce intake of salt and take more potassium through citrus fruits like oranges and lemon juice and water reduce stress and anxiety related issues with the help of yoga and meditation. walk around a bit but do more of arms stretching.
regarding betablockers, they're safe.
propranolol does cause breathlessness in people prone to ast...more

Please follow the advice given by your doctor have some patience atleast give him 2 weeks to treat you only then look for other alternatives
3 days are not enough to show the results

Dear Lybrate user...Propranolol is a beta blocker and is commonly used for migraine prophylaxis. Its recommended dose for migraine prophylaxis can be as high as 120 to 160 mg per day. Its normal action on heart is to decrease the heart rate, but at a dose of 80 mg it is less likely to cause a significant damage. Rest differs from patient to patient and the clinical decision has to be individualized. Take care

You need to meet with a counselor and work with that person along with medication. In counseling you will learn a lot of skills, techniques, and tools to deal with daily problems. You will also learn how to deal with yoru emotions and by cbt you can prompt the brain to produce the same chemicals supplied by the medicines. For the trembling you can report this to your doctor and s/he will give you an alternative medicine to stop the trembling.

Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query.
In hyperthyroidism patiients usually have severe palpitation, to reduce that proplanolol is used. It is not for high blood pressure in this situation. Thanks.

The beta blocker may cause bradycardia.
So see if It is the case.
You can take homoeopathic treatment to cure the problems and then stop propranolol.

It most likely due to anxiety
take etizola beta after breakfast
and you may need a help from psychiatrist.

As with any other drugs it will have certain side effects but nothing much to worry given your age and drug dose.
