Hiya

I have been taking Propranolol now for 4 years without a break, get nasty palpitations when I miss a dose or try to cut them down. I'm not sure whether this is my expectation of them causing them or they are for real. I take 2 x 20 mg per day.

I would love to come off them as I have piled on the pounds, I was taking them a few years back and stopped them without medical supervision and managed fine, I also lost over a stone in a few weeks too without dieting.

Despite what the medical people say these tablets do cause weight gain.

I hope to come off them in the summer next year, I think it will be better then for me as my anxiety etc is always worse in the winter with the lack of daylight hours.
