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

Yes I have and it didn’t help me but it’s worth a try as it might help you as with any medication what doesn’t suit one person can suit another.

Good luck and please keep us informed 🤞

It’s supposed to help with physical symptoms of anxiety and I was told it works after an hour and lasts not much longer than an hour or so...At first I thought 20 mg was helping me not to shake and with heart palpitations but I just didn’t see much of any difference later on so I stopped it. I’ve heard it helped some when giving a speech, that sort of thing.

How long have you been on it? Do you think it is helping?

Took first one today

I wonder if it’s too early to say if it is helpful or not.

Hello! I have not been on this but wanted to offer a word of encouragement in getting your meds sorted out and figuring out what works for you. I know it can be a tough waiting game while determining a good regimine, but it will all be worth it in the end! I started Effexor almost 2 months ago and my dr recently had me go up on the dose. I haven't noticed a huge difference with the new dose yet, and have been discouraged about it off and on, especially since the side effects are what I mostly noticed! It all takes time and we want to feel better sooner not later so it's hard to wait.

Hang in there and keep posting and checking in.

Hello

Not taken it myself but do know someone that has and it seems to work for them

Maybe give it a try of a few days before you make your mind up if it is the one that will help you

Take Care x

Hi there I take Propranolol ~ but only as needed when panic/anxiety takes over. They just help calm you down if it all gets too much. Nothing like antidepressants at all which didn't help me at all .Give them a fair go!! And Good Luck 😊
