> Jay so that pdoc got me again as he said since I couldn't take inderal cause of high ANA that lopressor would get my body ready to accept an SSRI cause of my high anxiety. Stopped in a few months on my own cause of the tiredness and couldn't get my pulse up when excercising and he know I ran at the time. I did not like that med at all. Phillipa ps could it have hurt me? also had just a few months before had my thyroid go. Supposed to be hyopo.
ANA is a very specialized test for measurements of antibodies higher than normal, such as in your case for suspicion of Hashimoto's. I'm not familiar with reactions between Hashimotos and propranolol other than probable increased fatigue as a guess.
I didn't quite get the whole "couldn't take inderal cause of high ANA that lopressor would get my body ready to accept an SSRI cause of my high anxiety." part -- were you saying you couldnt take propranolol and lopressor together because that's pretty contraindicated, and the SSRI part (you're not taking Luvox any more)
Which did you stop? Neither of them would have "permanent damage", you scarcely had a dose of Luvox in you and I doubt you had a lot of propranolol -- the metoprolol I don't know either, I know no doctor would prescribe two beta blockers at the same time unless they were working on saving heart patients.
