Weight gain and propranolol

hey Ive just started taking propranolol and reading up and there's been loads of discussion about weight gain with it. Weight is a serious issue for me and it scares me to put weight on. Makes me wonder if it's worth taking my medication.. Has anyone gained weight with it?

Hello

With a lot of medications some people report weight gain & others report none , I think it is how they may or may not affect an individual

Maybe try them as your doctor must feel they will benefit you , watch your weight & if you feel they do start to put you weight on you can then go back & see your GP & ask if they can swap you onto another one x
