Hi Im kinda new here wondered if you could help?

I am on 60mg of propranolol a day and have been for about 7 months. They just dont seem to be working anymore?
Could i have become 'immune' to them? Should I ask to up my dose?

Thanks

Hi cupcake. I take this too, 80mg slow release daily and although they do have a few side effects I can't say theyve stopped working as such, they still seem to be doing the job they were given for i.e..high bp combined with migraines. If i try to give them up my anx comes back so they must be doing something. Perhaps 60mg is too low for your particular needs, can I ask what were you given them for?

Hi Cathy,

Im on them for panic attacks/ Anxiety. I might go speak to my doctor see if I need a higher dose.

Thanks for your reply x

hi there..
i took the 80mg slow release but it didnt really work for me..i felt no side effects and the only thing it done was stop palpitations..which isnt my worst side effect anyway...maybe you should try something else.
good luck
