My two best friends take that. One takes the 20mg and the other takes the 40 mg. It should help you, dear. It may cause you to be very sleepy in the first week or so but it passes. One friend had no other beginning side effects other than the sleepiness and my other friend had increased anxiety for the first week or two until it got into her system and works wonders for her now. She is glad that she stuck it out. :)

Hi I was in thi for 4 months alongside propanol . I was on 20mg it didn't work for me as the side effects were unbearable I could literally feel my brain switch around 11am and before that it just intesified my anxiety.

I was also on this

Medication a few years ago. I took it for about a year. And it did really help. Last year I was put on mirtazapine but came off it and now just on propranolol.
