What Causes Depression And Mood Wings While On Beta Blockers?
I am on a beta blocker and I am experiencing a lot of depression and mood swings. I am usually a happy person but this medication is making me hate everything. Note: My doctor placed me on this due to rapid heart beats throughout the day due to anxiety.

Hello,
Beta-blockers are used in anxiety and rapid heartbeat. Maybe your anxiety change in mood and fast heartbeat is caused by a problem with the thyroid gland.
I suggest you to do some examinations like Tsh T3 T4 and thyroid ultrasound.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
