What Causes Spins, Dizzy Or Shakes In Hands, Tingling In Lips After Taking Inderal LA For Anxiety Disorders?

I take 120mg Inderal LA once a day in the AM for Generalized Anxiety Disorder with Panic Outbursts. Since starting this I've had times where I get the spins and dizzy, or shakes, and my hands and lips getting the tingles. These are not all at the same time, but different times throughout the day.

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
welcome to HCM!

The problem you are having are due to 120 mg of inderal. it is not the proper recommended druga and dosage for treating anxiety. You should have been given some good anti anxiety molecule - sertraline, or paroxetine,or duloxetine etc.
They will help you a lot without such bothering side effects. I donot think that you are seeing a psychiatrist, as they donot go for only inderal in cases like yours.

## Inderal should not be given at high doses, at one time, otherwise such issue creep up.
So, discuss the problem with a psychitrist and you will surely get well.
