Guest guest Posted November 25, 2001 Report Share Posted November 25, 2001 >Now I am trying to remember -- do you take your beta blocker only when needed? Some musician friends of mine with NO heart problems whatsoever take a beta blocker to control " stage fright " when they are performing. I guess it must have a calming effect, though I don't remember feeling that way when I was taking propanolol. I tried 2-3 times to do away with the beta blocker and take it only when an attack started. With my cardio's okay, of course. Doesn't seem to be an option for me - I tend to go into afib within a month or two when I'm off toprol, whereas when I take the toprol all the time, I seem to be able to keep it more at bay. I am still hoping that improving my cario fitness may help and let me get to that stage. I do notice a calming effect from toprol, although not as pronounced as when I first started on it. I tried atenolol for a day or so and didn't have the calming effect at all. There really do seem to be differences in beta blockers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just mention this because when you have multiple meds, the more meds, the less likely you will find a lot of people taking just that combo.

Guest guest Posted December 1, 2006 Report Share Posted December 1, 2006 not when you're allergic!!!!! i can't take anything like valium, morphine, demarol, darvon, codeine, makes me deathly and violently ill. fioricet is the closest they have been able to come as fas as pain meds go for me. and i still have to take phenagran to take that to keep my stomach contents where they belong........
