Unfortunately, nobody makes a drug with the same active ingredients but without the lactose, so I'm still using Paramax, which I don't think is that effective. And I take beta blockers twice a day as a preventative measure. My current stressful job is coming to an end at the end of this year, so I'm going to come off the beta blockers and see how I go.
