Suggest Medication For Anxiety
I take Toprol xl for anxiety and occasionally will still get heart palpitations . I have my first colonoscopy scheduled and I have never had any type of anesthesia and am desperately afraid that my body will not react well to the anesthesia. I am also extremely sensitive to caffeine and different medications.

Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
I think, you have underline anxiety disorder. In that case, you need antidepressant with low dose benzodiazepine to control anxiety symptoms. Better to consult a psychiatrist for proper mental status evaluation. You can also try relaxation exercise that would keep you relax.
Thanks
