Propranolol

[Dweeb]

Is anyone else takin propranolol?

[Chris C]

I did years ago when I first started having panic attacks. The doctor put me on imipramine and propranolol. Honesty it was so long ago I don't remember how helpful it was. The best result I had for a number of years was Prozac with xanax when needed.

Hi I've been on propananol for about 12 weeks now and I truly feel they help me. They seem to take away the physical symptoms of anxiety. It took a few weeks for them to get in my system, but once they did my panic attacks have greatly lessened

[Dweeb]

Ok thank you :)

Ive been takin it for about 12 weeks and dont feel its helpin me like ok i dnt really get actual panic attack bt i still get all the symptoms like heart palpitations and that. Is this normal?

[petrified]

I do sometimes especially if I'm stressed, I'm allowed to play around with my dose as well I can take anything from 10 mg to 80 mg. If you don't feel they are helping go back to your doctor, there might be something else they can do for you. I've just started having cbt which I'm hoping is going to help me :-)

[Dweeb]

Yeah i'm on 80mg once a day i havent done any counsellin or that yet maybe thats summat i need to look into

[petrified]

Yeah it might be worth looking into it might help you :-)

[Dweeb]

I'll speak to my doctor about it thank you :)

[splush]

Yeah the 1z i'm on now 80mg are slow releasin bt the new 10mg ones aint

Which have you found to be better?

[Dweeb]

The 10mg i'd say bt dont now if thats cuz at the min i'm taking 2 3x a day

[embrace123]

I'm on the 10mg and I take it twice a day. And somedays it takes away the physical symptoms and some days it doesn't . Do you people experience that also?

[Dweeb]

Yeah some days i can have no pain but like now ive got chest pain and stomach pain :(

[embrace123]

What mg are you on?

[Dweeb]

10mg 2 tablets 3x a day

[embrace123]

Wow that's a lot. Does it slow your heart rate down really low? Do you ever have heart Palpitations when standing up real fast or sitting down real fast?

[worriedmummy85]

I started on 10mg 3x a day then went to 20mg 3x a day and now I have moved it up to 30mg 3x a day because the symptoms were still getting through

[udinesio]

It works very well for panic attacks. 20MG is usually enough. It takes an hour to kick.

Yep I'm on it and have been for a couple of months. My blood pressure is normally very low but doctor was happy to put me on it. I do get pain in my chest but not sure if its due to this. Was meant to be taking it twice a day but I forget so normally leave the packet at work and take one then. I'm on 40mg.
