Today I got prescribed Inderal in 20 mg pills. I was wondering if they belong to the same class of drugs are Valium, etc.

Last fall when I got my hands on some, I took about 30 mgs after I had about 6 shots of vodka...the high was incredible. I could barely concentrate, it was so intense. I understand that inderal was slowing my heart in addition to the alcohol, so it was prolly the lack of oxygen to my brain. heh.

I hate going to my HMO's pharmacy they seem to hate me coming, they know me so well. I've gone through Paxil, Prozac, and now they're putting me on this zoloft/inderal combo to cure my "anxiety" Why can't I get some Xanax or Valium?


btw don't you love it when pills kick in? wooohooo!

no- not that same class as valium

they seem to just want to make your weak anti-depressants that can double as mild anti-anxiety meds as strong as they can by adding a beta-blocker.


no, it sort of scares me actually.

My doc used to give them to me for migraines. They work better than zomig. But they're a beta-blocker. If I'm thinking what you're thinking lokil, you got prescribed them for anxiety. Even, if you do have anxiety, inderals are WEAK when prescribed for them. I also, know someone who got prescribed for them because he/she had the shakes alot. And I guess their tremors went away. You're slippin lokil! AT LEAST go with the buspars instead of inderals if anything.
