Chlorate

I've been taking 10mg twice a day:
One in the early afternoon - between 12 and 3. And the second at night at around 9.
From what I can tell, it's making my anxiety a whole lot easier to cope with, I haven't had a full blown panic attack since I've been on it.
Although I still do seem to get some anxiety symptoms, like the odd chest twinge and having to think about breathing, coupled with the occasional bit of hypochondria. I guess because the dosage is low and I'm still getting used to the fact that I'm on medication.
My one side-effect is that things seem a little less real when I've taken some. But I prefer that to panic attacks any day of the week.
Hehe seems a little counter-intuitive taking medication that slows the heart if your main (and completely illogical) health worry is about your heart.
Possibly going along to some anxiety support stuff on campus eventually, will see if that also helps.
Anyone else having a similar sort of experience with propanolol?
