Hi,

I have been prescribed 40mg propranolol tablets to take as needed for panic attacks and palpitations.

I find they work well, but have noticed that the following day, my palpitations are increased.

Anyone else experience this, or know why?

Thanks x

This has never happened to me and I've been taking them since April.

I take the slow release ones. I imagine you will be more sensitive to palpitations the day after if you are not taking propranolol regular.

Thanks for the advice :)

When the Doctor prescribed them she said I could take them as and when or that I could take them daily. The box says 1 tablet 3x a day. I was reluctant to take 3 a day though as I don't want to get hooked.

Can I ask how much you take daily and if it helps?

I do sometimes get a fluttery heart like my heart is skipping a beat but it tends to happen when i'm tired so it could just be tiredness x
