Anyone have big side effects from beta blockers? Propanolol/Inderal especially? Dunno if this is really silly but I'm getting anxious about taking the tablets that are supposed to help me!
Anyone help or reassure??

No big side effects apart from asthmatics who should not have them.
They are mainly used as Bryan mentioned in an earlier post of yours to reduce blood pressure so it's likely to do that too but you may be on a reduced dose for the anxiety.
Put betablockers into the search facility- there's lots of mentions.

I took atenolol once (a beta-blocker) and was in hospital the next day with breathing problems cos I get asthma. The doctor obviously never checked my notes!!

i too was anxious about taking mine...last night i plucked up the courage. I took my third tablet 30mins ago. Its wierd but im waiting for the side effects to kick in but they arnt yet. i hope this is still the case in the next 30mins. Twister...the reason for my attacks is because i fear being sick...i really didnt need to read that last comment...haha

oh sorry Swiftler, I feel really bad now. [:0]
It went really quickly and I think was probably just nerves more than anything.
