I have been taking propranolol for a week now and I am on 160mg per day (which seems to be more than anybody else I've read about).
I was prescribed propranolol because of anxiety and panic attacks. The first few days on it were ok but then I had an awful day where I felt like I was constantly trying to prevent a panic attack and kept feeling as though I was about to faint at any point.
I then had another couple of day which were ok but today I have felt awful again. I couldn't even walk into a shop.
I don't know if what I'm feeling is the prop. or my anxiety...? I am willing to stay with it if it is going to start helping soon - how long does it normally take? And will the dizziness, feeling faint and feeling sick go as well? Has anyone actually ever fainted or been sick when taking prop.?
I am going to start having job interviews soon and am worried that I wont be able to cope with it.
Also, does my dose sound unusually high to anyone else?
Thanks.
