I'm going from 12.5 mg twice a day to once a day. Very low dose to begin with but hate messing with meds

I used to take 50 mg per work day until it lowered my pulse too much so we switched to shorter acting propranolol which went well. Alankay

Not on either. Now I take propranolol now but at 20-40mgs(fairly low dose) I do not get side effect and my pulse is only effected slightly. Alankay

Propranolol seems to help with tremor /shaking a bit more as opposed to just a racing heart which atenolol was great for. Alankwak
