Hi etmoo I've been on propanolol for a few months and found it very good for panics. Rough day today because I'm coming off valium. This is my 6th day without. Finding it hard to eat. I would recommend taking the propanolol though, I had no side effects and think it is ok when you want to stop. Chris

It's good to reduce panicky symptoms - I've heard that actors often take it before going on stage. Best Wishes.

Hi I'm taking it too, have been for years because I always got really bad palpatations when anxious. The propranolol have stopped this. I don't really have any side effects other than sometimes feeling tired but then again that could be due to anxiety. My blood pressure is checked every twelve months and is always fine so GP says I can probs stay on them for life. I honestly do find they have helped ease some of the physical symptoms I have. Best wishes.

Just started taking this over last 3 days - coming off diazapem so still some anxiety later in the day. It has helped my sleep though. First day my eyes were a bit odd and felt a bit dizzy, but soon went. Hope this helps. Karen

I used propanolol for a while,no side effects from it. I didn't find it a huge help, it maybe

took the edge off the anxiety a bit but nothing major.Still,we are all v different in how our bodies respond to drugs so it may well be a huge help to you. You never know unless you try
