propranol

[RayannAbbey]

anyone take propranolol for anxiety? Experiences please.

[Stippler]

I take propranolol for PTSD. It seems to work for the "adrenaline" feeling of anxiety, but you have to really be careful not to take too much. It is primarily a blood pressure medication so if you are not careful, you can easily take too much and it can lower your pulse and/or blood pressure too much. Bottom line - follow your doctor's orders always.

how much do you take can l ask please?

[Stippler in reply to RayannAbbey]

I take 10 mg up to 4 times a day.

I am on 20mg twice a day to help with rapid heartbeat caused by panic

I have taken it but be aware, don’t do anything really strenuous! I have fainted twice when I’ve taken it followed by a brisk walk and that was on 40 mg and even 10 mg

thank you. Did you take it with other meds?

[designguy]

I tried it for anxiety and to also lower blood pressure without any success. The only med that directly helped my anxiety was Klonopin. But we all react differently to meds so give it time to see if it works for you. I also had no side affects with either propranolol or Klonopin.
