I have spoken to My Doctor who suggested propranolol but it didn't really touch the severe terror, as racing heart or palpitations are no my main symptom, more it radiates through all my body down to the jelly legs. It is beyond description. For some reason I have reacted so badly to it and to trying to get off what is a quite small dose. Still to big to stop though as I feel every tiny cut. I really am very scared that at my age I wont get through this . I had a really good life but for I developed an early morning waking dread and this is the result of visiting my Doctor about it. I so wish I had tackled it in more natural ways, but now the fear is so powerful I am unable to use those and herbal stuff is not recommended as it hits the gaba receptors too and prevents healing, though I do think I need something to calm enough to at least get out of the door or eat food . My psychiatrist can offer nothing either. At a loss
