I was taking it but only when my pulse was over 100

Remeber its a P blocker and it slows down your pulse, and at the same time it has an antianxialitic effect. I got rid of it very fast as i started feeling that my BP and pulse because too low.

the doctor gave me 10mg (3 times a day) i am scared to take it, is it ok? anybody tried before, my pulse rate is 96 yesterday, i am thinking should i just take atneololol 25mg?what's the difference between proponolol and atenolol?

[alba]

can we stop taking this anytime or are we struck all our life,like atenolol cannot stop can cause heart attack is it true

I am taking 40mg proponolol per day as a temporary measure to help with severe panic attack symptoms. It is not something you need to take for the rest of your life. The doctor normally monitors symptoms and increases/decreases medication accordingly.

Mich1111 is right..... I'm on 40mg 3 times a day..... my only warning would be as with anything like this..... DON'T JUST STOP TAKING IT!!!!!, i had a really unpleasant few days when circumstance and the NHS's incompetence ran out of mine and couldnt get more till Monday....

All the best!
