Im from the uk, age 16, im currently taking 1/2 beta blocker 3 times a day to stop me from taking a panic attack etc w could i overdose on this much and what times.should.i take these at?

Several B Blockers: Beta blockers are many, but Propranolol is the most commonly used in anxiety, it suppresses some of the physical symptoms of anxiety, and in people where the cardiac component is a trigger for their panic, b blockers are very helpful. However they don't affect the cognitive component of anxiety. To judge whether you may overdose on the dosage, we have to know what strength and which beta blocker?

Dose and time depend: Beta blockers lower blood pressure and slow heart rate (which helps with palpitation/panic sensations) If the blood pressure is too low, you are dizzy when you stand up, or your heart rate is under 60, you should talk to your MD about adjusting the dose. The older beta blockers are generally a twice a day medications when used for BP control. Take yours in am, with the evening meal, and before bed.

Dose dependent: Beta blockers may be considered an off label "anxiolytic" (anti-anxiety drug), but the reality is that doctors appear to have no idea how it works. That should be a fairly clear warning sign as to why beta blockers should not be your first choice when it comes to your anxiety treatment. Scientists have no idea why beta blockers appear to reduce anxiety. Pl consult your GP re optimal dosing.
