November 7th, 2023 In this (special) episode: Dr. Sanjay Gupta, a Consultant Cardiologist at York Teaching Hospital in York, United Kingdom. He also represents general medicine on the patient safety group and is a HYMS tutor and has been awarded 2 clinical excellence awards. Dr. Gupta was so kind to take the time to answer my questions and shares his views on his profession and the healthcare system. On behalf of the Benzodiazepine-harmed community, I invited dr. Gupta. As the Ashton Manual is widely recognized, appreciated and embraced, we can't deny it is over twenty years old and there are more developments and views within the community. In the Ashton Manual, the (short acting) beta blocker Propranolol is mentioned as a possible tool for those who suffer heart palpitations in Benzodiazepine withdrawal. Professor Ashton mentions in her renowned manual that dependency does occur when taking a beta blocker daily and requires a taper. Information on how to taper, adverse effects and possible dangers aren't well researched. Personally I had a really difficult time coming off of Propranolol and had severe withdrawal symptoms. Dr. Christy Huff, also a Cardiologist and has lived-experience on the matter, was so kind to join me in episode #36 where we discussed the topic; it is one of the most listened to episodes of Benzotired. I have a close friend within the Benzo-harmed community, who is going through a severe Propranolol withdrawal. The friend and I have done research on cases having difficulties coming off of beta blockers and have found some disturbing reports. As of present I cannot share too much, but I can share that we want to raise awareness on the possible negative outcomes of beta blockers. Please do not stop your beta blocker abruptly and consult a medical professional if you have any questions about your prescription. Find dr.
