I’m getting married next week, and although I love my fiancé and I can’t wait to get married, I’m terrified of the wedding itself. I have been struggling with panic attacks over the last four months and social situations (especially when I’m the center of attention) are really tough. 

My doctor prescribed me atenolol (beta blocker) a few months ago and recently Xanax about a month ago. I have taken them both separate and have found that they are helpful; he recently suggested taking them both at the same time to see if that’s more helpful. 

I’m going to experiment a bit this weekend but I was wondering if anyone else has tried this and if it was helpful for them? Between the wedding and honeymoon flight, I really want to just be able to get through them without feeling terrible or making a scene. 

I’ve made big strides over the last few months, but at this point, I’m out of time and am hoping that leaning on medication will get me through this very stressful (but wonderful) chapter of my life. 

Thanks!
