I think propanalol just works "physically" - by keeping your heart rate steady.Fluoxetine works on the neurons in your brain. The end result is that you have more serotonin sloshing around, which is calming.
I have taken propananol for my nervous problem Jingle-bells. I find that it Helps but only to a certain extent. I t doesn't stop the physical shaking completely. and Yes the trembling does make me feel even more self conscious Than normal and I try hard to control it. for example if you saw me and spoke to me you would notice i would start touching my neck or my cheek and all because I wouldn't want you to notice me trembling. it's a terrible way to be and live from day to day Jingle.
oh yes jinglebells many times over the years. but none of them have been able to understand why I am like this? as for mummy, she sees her doctor regularly for her diabetes and other health problems. she is a strong minded lady and so despite her illnesses she does her best to keep going. I wish I was as strong minded as her. but unfortunately I tend to worry Too Much and Hide away rather than face things.
Yes I Did Soutra. But I gave up drugs and alcohol and have been clean for over 20 years and I feel so much better for it. No more relying on tenants beer and so called spliffs to calm my nerves. I Doubt there is a connection between my drug and alcohol misuse though? Because I am aware that my nerves were just as bad before I started using drugs and drink. I guess the years of drinking and smoking didn't do me good health wise of course but there must be a reason why I have this nervous disposition? As far as I know no one else in my family has it so it may not be something that runs in my family? what I do know is that I hate being like this soutra. best wishes from trevor
I can remember the trembling. You worry that someone will notice. You can't enjoy anything.
I say, thank God for fluoxetine. I've never looked back to those awful times since I started taking it. I am very lucky that a little, fairly innocuous, capsule could turn my life around the way it did.
Soutra why don't you leave this alone? You don't know what you are talking about.
its natural to feel nervous. But to feel nervous day and night without Just cause means something is wrong. Unfortunately I Have That Problem. It Means I tremble all the Time. And when it's really Bad my head nods back and forth and it can be difficult to control it. I Don't know why I am so nervously disposed but I'm sure there must be a reasonable explanation? Being shy I think can make it worse. I'm aware that there are many people in the world with similar health problems but I still feel quite alone with regard to this problem. As far as I know I'm the only one that has it in my family? My dear mum sadly has bad nerves now due to being diabetic and I guess her age may play a Part as Well? She is 70. I'd love to find a cure for this problem. and to be able to stand up straight without any trembling at all and no longer feel embarrassed about it. I hate seeing myself in the mirror and noticing my head nodding. can anyone else relate to this problem? If so how do you cope with it?
