He is going to put me on Clonidine 3x a day for 7 days. I also asked him to prescribe something for the diarrhea as well as the aches in pains. I am concerned that after getting off the pain meds completely I will be start experiencing the pain in my back again, but I will not want to get back on anything that strong or anything that is addictive. I am praying that I can get off these by just sticking it out with the clonidine.
These are usually intention tremors and other causes which need ruling out is alcohol withdrawal, hyperthyroidism, and etc. Treatment would include medicines like propranolol, which blocks adrenaline related neurotransmitters, and primidone which is an antiseizure drug. Consult your neurologist for the indication of therapy and the relevant treatment should be given if indicated. Take care.
How long does withdrawal from beta blockers usually last? I don't have any money to refill my propranolol prescription and haven't had it in 4 months. I was taking it for arrhythmias and high BP (160mg XR propranolol with 180mg XR diltiazam daily) and when I ran out 4 months ago I just kept taking the Dilt. hoping the symptoms were just withdrawals and that they would go away... Symptoms are what you would think, I'm just curious if to someone with similar conditions (i.

controlling high blood pressure, relieving angina symptoms, and treating atrial fibrillation. Propranolol may also be used off-label to relieve alcohol withdrawal symptoms, treat hyperthyroidism, and slow down the progression of aortic dilation in children with Marfan syndrome.
IF this medication is right for the person you are inquiring about cannot be answered here. This is a question that can only be answered correctly by the patient's physician.
I hav consulted my doctor again and he told me to continue the propranolol tablets for 6months..He told me that the tremor is because of the excess secretion of some hormones..
Withdrawal from most of the meds is unpleasant but not dangerous, except for valium or xanax-type medications, alcohol, or barbiturates-- all of which can have fatal withdrawal.
One thing to look into is Suboxone; it is an opiate partial agonist that is being used more and more for chronic pain. It is primarily used to treat opiate dependence, and it has potent opiate activity; understand that it is a step down a road that you may not want to take.
Other causes include the use of some drugs (such as amphetamines, caffeine, corticosteroids, and drugs used for certain psychiatric disorders), alcohol abuse or withdrawal, mercury poisoning, overactive thyroid or liver failure.
Tremors can be an indication of hypoglycemia, along with palpitations, sweating and anxiety. Some forms of tremor are inherited and run in families, while others have no known cause.
I also take the Propranolol twice a day for my heart. The Propranolol was prescribed for my heart and never for anything else. Now I am currently taking Propranolol in the morning along with Paxil, at night I take Propranolol again. I take the Klonopin is taken as needed twice a day.
sometimes Tenex is also used in conjunction with stimulants to help control ADHD symptoms....first I have heard of inderal (brand name for propranolol) being used but makes sense...Always to remember to ask your doctor any questions about your meds and health care...the only stupid questions are the ones not asked....Also beta blockers are also given to help control migraines to regulate fluxs in BP...not because too high but slight changes can trigger migraines...
Why on earth were you on a beta-blocker (Heart medicine, Propranolol) for a sore throat? Someone made a mistake.. I would seek help Immediately. Though 2 weeks of propranolol wouldn't hurt you I would say you could probably have Incurred a bad side effect from the Propranolol.
In rare cases withdrawals can even last for years but know this for sure, the worst feeling of withdrawal will likely be immediately after you stop drinking. For me I was drinking 23 beers a day and spending $600 a month. My worse withdawals lasted only a few days. It's been something like 596 days since my last drink. I have days that I get the urge but it goes away in like an hour or something.
Alot of the symptoms are the same for anxiety and alcohol withdrawal. Please help as this has never happened to me before.
Have I drank for a long enough time for a seizure or Delirium tremens to be likely? 2. How long will it take for the withdrawal symptoms to subside from a bender of 13 days?
I think you should be fine, if you are feeling OK and not having seizures by now you should be OK. Your sleep will improve with time, because the kind if sleep you very getting after a bottle and a half of wine was not healthy.
In general unless you are an alcoholic, a woman should not drink more than a half a glass of wine a day for her heart health. The rest is not beneficial for a woman's body. Moderation is the key here.
Good luck to you.
ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL CAN KILL YOU!!!!! you need to be medically supervised get to a detox center this is beyond the scope of a home detox..........
m 33 and have had a problem with alcohol for approx 10 years. The main cause is anxiety which I have tried and tried different meds and counciling, all to no avail. I'm not alcohol dependant but when my anxiety gets too bad I end up drinking over a binge of 3 - 4 days. I am about 48 hours after one of these binges. It started Tuesday evening and ended fri around lunchtime I was just so ill I couldn't drink anymore. I think I'd drank 65 units in that time - all vodka.
I also do take the beta-blocker pindolol which has kept my BP at 125/70 for years. Shrink says very occasional and use of propranolol on top of pindolol should not be a problem but I still have concerns which I will run by my GP. I actually did receive a call from my pharmacy pointing out the risk of a low BP problem.
So...I am wondering if anyone has used propranolol or has an educated opinion on both its use in ED and possible interactions.
I've being on antidepressants the last 6 Years. Diagnosed with pnd when I was 20. I was told that I had resistant depression so was giving 800 grams of lithium as a booster. I've being fine the past 6 Years. I sometimes wouldn't take my meds on a Fri and sat when I'm out socialising. But later if I miss a dose I've crippling anxiety and depression for days. It's so annoying because alcohol never effected me like that before.
