Hey so I've been trying to come off a med called amitriptyline and it's really messed up my nervous system this year. Had all sorts of anxiety and neurological symptoms since Feb. In particular I had to quit any kind of exercising in May up to now

&amp;#x200B;

Now things seem to be improving at last, however my heart rate remains elevated at over 80bpm at rest, and I occasionally feel a bit out of breath randomly even when sitting down. 

&amp;#x200B;

My doctor has offered to prescribe beta blockers. What I wanted to ask:

&amp;#x200B;

1/ any experience with beta blockers for anxiety / getting off psyche meds? what did you take / any issues with side effects?

&amp;#x200B;

2/ any issues with beta blocker withdrawal / how did you taper off etc? amitriptyline withdrawal fucked me up for a year, don't want this to happen again...

&amp;#x200B;

Thankful for any info...
