Hi All,
I had another doc appt. I was happy with the outcome. I have seen progress and the doc thinks that over the next couple of weeks with the drugs ive been prescibed I may be competely symtom free. Ok so Ive been prescribed -propranolol 80 mg per day -Nortriptyline 10 mg at night to promote restfull sleep. Thoughts on these would be hugely appreciated!!!! 6 months pcs symptoms, symtoms left anxiety and headaches. |

I use propanolol on an as needed basis. If you blood pressure is high, it will help with head aches and some other symptoms. 80 mgs seems a bit high but you may need it. Do you have a home blood pressure kit ? Knowing your blood pressure when you are most symptomatic is helpful. I use it when my blood pressure spikes and I can not get it down by other methods. My skills at relaxing usually work. I have not needed it for quite some time. When I did, it was a lifesaver.
The Nortriptyline is a common med for PCS, depression and insomnia. I hope they work for you. My best to you.
