I have suffered from intense, chronic panic attacks and general anxiety since I was a child, and doctors have tried a wide range of medicines w/out very much success. This drug has drastically reduced the frequency and severity of my panic attacks, as well as my overall anxiety. It's not a miracle drug, as I do still have troubles, but it has made them easily manageable! I do have odd dreams, but ...

After 20 years on Propranolol I am now having scarey vivid dreams. Could the combination of that drug and Primidone cause this. I would hate to stop my meds. Tremor is somewhat under control

IT JUST HASN'T DONE MUCH FOR ME. I'M STILL NERVOUS AND ANXIOUS. I WOULD BE IN ABOUT THE SAME SHAPE WITHOUT IT.

Has greatly reduced the number and intensity of my migraines. However, still get them about 2-3 a month and I pop about 3 Tylenol. Imitrex did not work for me and Maxalt makes me more nauseated.

I was pretty pessimistic being put on a high blood pressure medication. However, I was certainly wrong when I thought I didn't need it, forgetting to take it after three days certainly made me grab my chest in pain. So, definately it is a medication that does what it's intended to do. No side effects really, it kept me in check when I forgot to take it, I did receive headaches, but I thought this was a good thing because it made me remember to take it.

I was prescribed this drug for my anxiety, only taking it about 1-2 times a day every other day when I got nervous or sick to my stomach. It worked great and fast! I thought it was a miracle until I started having nightmares at night because that can be one of the side effects. It was making me more depressed and I was having dreams that seemed like they were real and were more like hallucinations. I am now off the medication. Bad dreams were gone within 3 days of not taking any.

I've been on it for about a week, for migraine prevention, and so far, so good. I was getting severe migraines 3-5 times a week, and now I've only experienced a few.

I started this medicine for anxiety, and it has helped slightly. I do however notice my hands tremble less than normal, thanks to the medicine.

It has helped out greatly with my racing heartbeat brought on by anxiety. I am also a migraine sufferer. I used to get a couple a week but since starting this a month ago I have only had one attack.
