Propranolol

[ghoegap]

Have any of you read about the small new study on the efficacy of propranolol for reducing stress tremor ? I wondered about the side effects of propranolol. This is however, a very inexpensive medication.

If you typically have blood pressure in the low range it might be more likely.

"Common side effects

These common side effects happen in more than 1 in 100 people. They're usually mild and short-lived.

Talk to your doctor or pharmacist if the side effects bother you or last more than a few days:

headaches

feeling tired, dizzy or weak

cold fingers or toes

feeling or being sick (nausea or vomiting), or diarrhoea

stomach pain

Serious side effects

It happens rarely, but some people have serious side effects when taking propranolol.

Tell a doctor or call 111 (or 911) straight away if:

the whites of your eyes turn yellow, your skin turns yellow although this may be less obvious on brown or black skin, or you have pale poo or dark pee – these can be signs of liver problems

you get nosebleeds that last for more than 10 minutes, unexplained bruising, or you bruise more easily than usual – these can be signs of low numbers of platelets in your blood (thrombocytopenia)"

Yes , thank you. Small trial and short clear results for those patients

i used it the last 2 years once or twice a day. It dampens my tremors 50%. No real side effect although if you try running while recently taking it you’ll notice your heart is slowey

my neurologist put me on propranolol to reduce tremors. It didn’t do much for my tremors but I experienced debilitating fatigue and had to stop.

I have used propanol sometimes night time if very heavy tremor. After 1 hour it normally helps a lot. However I'm not sure if it is plasebo effect.

I take propranolol when I'm going to a large social event. It reduces my tremor.

I tried it for about 6 weeks. It didn’t help my tremor and it made my head feel cloudy/heavy.

hello there. I was taking Propanolol twice daily at the recommendation of my neurologist. Although commonly used as a beta blocker, he thought it may have some efficacy in reducing tremors. instead it triggered low blood pressure and I started having fainting episodes and some really nasty falls… Came close to breaking my neck. Not a fan!
