Propanolol

[Jane3285]

So I've been put on propanolol. 40mg 3x a day. However I have read up about it disturbing sleep and I have enough disturbed sleep as it is. Do you think if I just take one in the morning with breakfast and one before my evening meal that would be fine? Or should I really take the 3?

I take 60mg once a day the extended release and have not had an issue with sleep, if anything it makes me tired, I was on 80mg and was so blah and lazy dr brought be down to 60mg.. feel better

Thankyou for the reply. Just bit scared of taking them. Read up on site effects

I'm a big wimp when it comes to meds. The only side effects I've had are being tired and little dizzy some days not all.

[Jane3285 in reply to Mpa5524]

Me too!! As you can probably tell. Well I had no side effects with the first one I took. Actually felt Better

I take only 40 mg a day, and once I was used to them they worked quite well, I'm wanting to go up maybe as I'm still very anxious, but they are worth sticking to I think. I'm such a woosss when it comes to taking meds😂

I am a wuss too. I'm just finding the morning one is lasting quite well. So don't feel I need the middle one. I've had alot of stress lately too.

Ok, here comes the 13th Commandment: Thou shall take medication as prescribed. Call MD. I took less of my xanax once for several days without checking with my doctor as I was feeling good, and the RX on the bottle label read "Take as needed." I had 2 gran mal seizures, 3 days in the hospital and surgery on my vertebra as I fractured it when I fell during the seizures to a wooden floor. Just be careful. Check with your MD, ok?
