Wow , I take the same dose as you did and I've had no problems and I am usually rather intolerant of meds.Propanolol is short acting, I was told it wears off after 6-8 hours so you should feel better soon.Get well soon.

Be patient during withdraw. I was on Propanolol for two weeks, same dosage as you. Anxiety heightened, horrible dreams, couldn’t sleep, irregular heartbeats. Thought my anxiety was just getting worse but didn’t connect it to the drug. It’s been almost two months and I am starting to feel like myself but still have irregular heartbeats. Wore a monitor for 30 days and doctor said it’s nothing to worry about. Everyone’s system is different. Hang in there.
