In reply to anyone anxious on pindolol?, posted by JohnX2 on February 24, 2002, at 17:25:37
Hi. My doctor put me on Pindolol a couple of months ago to offset the sexual dysfunction caused by Celexa. He said it would also help the AD effect. His prescription was to take 1 to 5 pills a day (5mg/each)depending on what amount helped the sexual problem. I have anxiety anyway and after I took one pill for a few days I did feel more anxious. I'm also taking Klonopin that helped but did notice more anxiety. I was concerned because I've had Serotonin Syndrome with other drug combos and was afraid that since Pindolol extends the time serotonin is in your brain that I might be getting the syndrome again. I've looked up drug interactions between Celexa and Pindolol and there weren't any. I am now taking two pills a day but am apprehensive to go up any further. I've noticed the anxiety being worse some days than others. The 2mg of Klonopin a day does take the edge off but sometimes I have to add a Xanax on those bad days. Hard to tell if it's just my anxiety disorder or the Pindolol. It does seem to help the sexual problem, though.
