Hello. I was prescribed 40mg twice daily propranolol for anxiety and it seemed to be working but by day 4 I was feeling really spacey and tired but not sleeping well. I went to the doctor and my heart rate was 50. She suggested stopping the propranolol or taking a smaller dose if needed. Does anyone know how much my heart rate might drop on a lesser dose? If it does drop temporarily while I try to get over my anxious 'blip' will this cause me the same problems as on the higher dose? My doctor didn't suggest an alternative medication. Is it a bit weird that I am an anxiety sufferer with fairly low blood pressure and heart rate?! Is there an alternative medication which might not lower my heart rate too much? Any advice would be much appreciated. x
