Sorry to hear, is the pain from your panic/phobias or the actual drug. I'm only on a low dose of it and when I didn't take some I was quite shocked how jittery I was - you get comfatable with the new feeling very quickly I find and forget how bad you were before taking it.

Go back and see the Doctor is probably the best advice.

Hi there,

Beta blockers made a huge difference for me when my anxiety was at its worst, particularly with the heart symptoms and the shaking. I was on Oxprenolol but I think Propranalol is pretty much the same.

Worth giving it a go, I say.

Take care
