I'm Hyperthoid and waiting for surgery for thryoid removal. I started on Propranolol 160mg last Friday and by Sunday could not stay awake. I work full time and made the decision to stop taking the meds. Monday morning and I'm wide awake.
Has anyone else has this problem?

Hi there
I am hypothyroid and have been taking 2.5mg of propranolol for a while now. That dose you are on would wipe me out for sure. I struggled on my prescription to start with and that's way lower. It is a side affect of propranolol as it slows the heart rate down. I would go back to my doctor and tell him how it made you feel. Best of luck.

Did you mean to say that you are HYPERthyroid? Propanolol doesn't sound right for someone who is HYPO.
Hi I could not take propranolol for various reasons, I have a different beta Blocker,propranolol is the cheapest , so used first. ( it also puts on weight)there are various more expensive ones, I have no problem with Nebiviolol. Any Betas Blocker should only be taken after the thyroid test, on that morning, as it gives a false blood result.
Best wishes,
Jackie
Hi I'm Hypo and i was prescribed propranolol because of high blood pressure 40mg a day ive never taken them.
Hi
when I was first diagnosed with Hyperthyroid they put me on it. I thought I was dying I couldn't get out of bed and when I did I fell asleep again. I stopped taking it and when I seen the Endo he told me to stay of them completely.
I was fine after that and able to work full time .
Hope you feel better soon
