[|Human|] I was given conversyl and bisopropol for my high blood pressure. I should also mention I have suffered with panic attacks for 40 yr now. and take xanax for that. My panic attacks have increased dramtically since being on the HB meds and I had to go off. I am still nervous and edgy. How do I wean myself off this stuff.?
[|AI|]  U have high blood pressure and associated anxiety disorder in terms of panic attacks.converse and bisoprolol are Chat Doctor. U have said that you are taking only Xanax for your panic attacks. Actually Xanax is benzodiazepine alprazolam, and it does not benefit your illness, it will only calm you. For better treatment response u shut take antidepressant medication sertraline. Start with 50 mg once a day at night and increase the dosage after 15 days to 100 mg at night.stop alprazolam [Xanax], instead u shut start Klonopin [0.5 mg] twice a day. If after starting Klonopin u feel more sedation during the daytime u can reduce the daytime dosage to 0.25 and increase the nighttime dosage... the effect of the sertraline will be achieved after 20 to 30 days. U shut wait at least 30 days for treatment response before changing the medication but u shut keep in mind that the dosage of sertraline can be increased up to 200 mg once a day in case there is no treatment response.u shut take these medications regularly for 6 to 8 months and after decrease the dosage as per experts advice...
