What would u like to know ?
I've been on it quite some years back wen I had a bad patch then was weaned off it ( myself ) then about 6 years or so ago I was put back on it as I was really bad again ... I've never had any problems , but just at the beginning I did used to get nightmares ( side effect ) but they didn't last long and I've been on them ever since ( but don't take them often ) weaned myself down again

I'm on 80mg and supposed to take two a day ( 160mg )
But I've only ever taken the one ... I think they help ... But then I sometimes think " if I hadn't started on them would I have still got better on my own "

It's a low dose so no harm in trying them

I take propranolol they r a beta blocka, help to stop heart beat from rising above normal x im on 40mg x 2 a day (80mg) a day, I hate taking them but they do help and I havent had a fast heart rate since taking them but they dont help with the pain, they might help a little bit but the pain goes away gradually in time when you get used to them xxx
