I've been given propranolol for my anxiety. Does it work, how quick is it and how long does it last?

Thank you x

Propanolol ( Inderal) is probably the very best medicine out there for anxiety! Your doctor will need to decide your dosage, but in an hour or so , the psnic stoppedm my hands and legs stopped shaking and the palpitations disappeared!

Hi Emily yes propanolo are really good work straight away last for at least six hours, but I'm sure you'll only need one and that will get you though each day, if i need one I take it in the morning when in at my worst and don't need any all day, goof luck let me know how you get on xx

Thank you sandraan! Xx

I like proponolal. What mg were you prescribed? It doesn't really help my palpitations but it does help with panic and anxiety.

Hi Emily, I was given these yesterday so have only taken 2 so far so bit early for me to say about them - I will let you know how it goes. I hope they work for you and improve your symptoms x
