Propranolol - my experience last night

[MrsW1983]

So last night around midnight I took over 2 boxes of my anxiety meds without planning this. Was a spur of the moment very bad decision after I felt I just couldn't deal with the overwhelming anxiety that's present every single moment. So after I write a msg to my husband whose asleep beside me (knowing he wouldn't get it until much later) I went off to sleep. The next thing I know it's 2.30am and I'm waking up needing to use the loo. Then the panic sets in, I can't physically walk. Am knocking things over trying my damn hardest to get moving but everything is an effort. Awful to admit, have an accident on the carpet. Start being sick also, my bodily functions were just running wild I had no control. It was the scariest time ever and I've never regretted something so much. I eventually pass out again then am waking up 5.30am. There's an ambulance that my husband called as yeah, he found the msg I sent and realised what the hell happened. After intense questioning whilst am lying in bed wondering what the hells going on I get carted off to the hospital as that's protocol, they can't leave you if you aren't capable. Spent 6 hours in A&E today. Awful experience and felt like shit the whole day with feelings of embarrassment, ashame and just like an awful person for putting my husband through it.

I just felt the need to tell people who actually don't intensely ask the personal questions I was being asked by the medical staff. Also I am so freaked out about the whole thing. Especially when I had no function in lower half of my body.

That sounds like such a horrific experience, it's awful how attempts to ctb can potentially go wrong. I hope that you don't end up with any damage.

Thank you. I had ecg & bloods taken at the hospital. They said nothing to worry about however the mental health team there were so keen to talk to me about the "risks" of the drug in general however I declined. I just wanted to go home after having been taken there not long before 6am.
