Hi for anxiety we have many other better medicines than betacap & above all the treatment for anxiety can be off & on rather continuous, so it's good if you slowly taper & stop betacap & can take some other better medicine whenever you get anxiety after consulting a psychiatrist. Thank you.

I would trust your doctor more than your thinking because he is a professional and knows what he is doing. Besides, he has changed the dosage after hearing about yoru symptoms. So trust him. The anxiety is there because you have not been dealing with your fears for a long time, perhaps. All unexpressed feelings will find some other way of expressing itself in the body. These will lead to psychological and physical problems of various kinds. You need to be trained in dealing with emotions and retain it as an ongoing process in life. Meet a counselor and get some guidance in this regard. In the meantime, please follow an exercise regiment, eat well and keep good company. Make your last meal, as far as possible, a pure carbohydrate meal. Eat early and make it a small meal too. Avoid all foods that cause flatulence. Sleep on your left ear most of the night. Every time you feel fear talk to someone about it. Do some deep breathing, with your left nostril shut, and you will immediately calm down. If it gets too much, place your index finger on your shut lips and puff up your cheeks tightly with air and hold it for some time. The back pressure of the air will press the vagus nerve at the rear of the throat and immediately reduce the heart rate to calm you down.
