Coenzyme Q 10 vs Beta Blockers

#18318957 - 05/25/13 03:54 PM (13 years, 5 months ago)

Hello everyone. I'm a 24 year old male who is in bad health.

The reason I say i'm in bad health is because I'm on a bunch of medications that I take daily for different conditions.

Here lately though, I just want to come off of all these medicines and be 100% healthy.

For the past 4 months i've been tapering off of medicines and trying to replace them with herbs.

The medicines I'm currently on are Strattera, Geodone, Remeron, and Bystolic. I'm currently tapering the strattera and in another month I will be off of it. The reason i'm tapering Strattera is because when I tried to stop cold turkey I got what some people call "brain zaps" or "brain shivers" that you typically get when you quit an SSRI. So far the brain zaps haven't been that bad. I went from 40 mg to 18 mg and I have been taking the 18 mg for 2 weeks. I'm feeling better than I was when I was on 40mg.

Now comes the part I'm generally concerned about. I have high blood pressure just about everytime my blood pressure is taken. I've been on beta blockers for the past 6 years. I was never diagnosed with high blood pressure but I was diagnosed with Mitral valve prolapse. I just started the Bystolic about 3 months ago because the other beta blocker was giving me seizure like symptoms. I would get this strong smell of burning rubber after I took my last dose. When I took a benzo though the symptoms would stop (I rarely ever take benzos and the symptoms have stopped since I started taking bystolic.)

Now this bystolic is starting to give me cold chills. I've been doing mad research on beta blockers and it seems that they cause more problems than they solve. I also read up on something called coenzyme q10 and how it is more effective than beta blockers at treating heart conditions. I want to discuss this with my doctor but last time I mentioned it he didn't seem to know much about it.

What I want to know is, could I come off this bystolic and start taking coenzyme q10 as a replacement? You can get it any drug store on the shelf. I don't want to risk withdrawing from beta blockers and having a heart attack unless I'm absolutely positive this coenzyme q10 will keep my blood pressure in check.

Thanks for reading and I hope I get some answers.
