Brief Answer:
Valeriana can help in headache

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM

Xanax is a benzodiazepine drug. The drug is known to cause hangover like symptoms in individuals taking it.

Valerian root can help to reduce the symptoms and will also help in sleep. For headache OTC drugs like Paracetamol can help. The symptoms will go in some time. Avoid taking Xanax for few days.

Thanks, hope this helps you. Take care.

Brief Answer:
Avoid 40 mg Inderal as your heart rate is low

Detailed Answer:
Hello again, thanks for asking again.

Yes Inderal can be taken but since your heart rate is in lower range so better to avoid because the drug will reduce the heart rate further. If you have presentation then you can take 20 mg Inderal which would not cause much change in heart rate. Take plenty of water and fluids. You can take Valeriana few drops or even 0.125 Clonazepam (if you have presecription) too which will also reduce the twitches and anxiety prior to presentation. Try to remain relaxed the anxiety will be under control with these medicines.

Thanks, Still have doubts please ask again. Take care
