Hi,

Welcome to the forum. It is nice to learn that you love yourself, you are recovering from depression. You should know that depression is not a life long problem. Life is like a roller-coaster. There is sunlight as well as rain. Are you planning to keep taking medicines for a long period? Concentrate on recovery. Think positive. You will get well soon and will not require these medicines. ( you should have given a detailed history of your past ailment )

Comparatively provanol sr - 40 ( propranolol) has milder side effects, though the effects may be adverse if wrong doses are taken. Patients taking xet cr -12.5 often come with complains of side effects ( tiredness, dizziness, muscle weakness, numbness in the fingers, toes, many more ) Long term use may affect CNS or genitourinary problems and more. ( side effects varies from individual to individual )

Try to change your lifestyle. Perform yoga and meditation. Life is beautiful. You should pick your choice food from markets/malls, dress well, exercise, listen to music, read books, watch movies, sing songs. Stay merry and stress-free.

Have a good day, take care.
