Been given Propanolol 10mg a day for my anxiety, has anyone else been on this?

Yes I take it 10mg it does help quite alot with the anxiety symptoms

I did take it for a short time, and it seemed to work really well for the anxiety, but it slowed me down too much and caused my blood pressure to be too low. My doctor said that it would pass after being on it for a while, but at the time, I had a toddler and needed to be able to keep up with him. My mother takes it though, for high blood pressure, but it really helped her anxiety so much. She's so much more calm now. She's been on the same dosage for almost 20 years and the difference in her from the anxiety ridden mother I knew growing up is incredible.

Hi there I suffer from deep thoughts like im not here if that's makes sense also alot of adrenaline and fear of eating havnt eaten soild food for 8 months due to my Anxiety I had my first panic attack last July and havnt eaten since. Id bern under alot of stress which they think caused it I don't have panic attacks now well not for a while but always scared one is coming. I have Bioplar disorder too so take meds for that but all in liquid form as i have a fear of swallowing but I can drink fluids thank god I live on Ensures bulid up drinks. Im waiting for a therapist but it's just taking forever. I dont go out much either cant walk anywhere as i get really breathless and again my Anxiety gets the better of me by making think I'll have an attack while im out. It's pretty grim existence. I had the racing heart for 6 months all day everyday till my Doctor put me on Propanal and I havnt had that symptom since thank god. I get scared alot too but dont know why always over thinking that something bad is gonna happen. Thank god for my Diazapam 4 times a day. I wouldn't say I was as bad as i was and im in recovery but just want to be ok again like I was b4 last July. Im constantly tired too.
