So last night around 1am, I took propanolol (40mg) for the first time and having one of the worst days with panic attacks and insomnia I've had in months. A lovely nurse from my crisis team stayed on the phone until the medicine kicked in since she knew I was worried about side effects. Can't thank her enough.

So I finally got some sleep after taking it and amanged about 4/5 hours which is amazing after only an hour of sleep each day before. When I woke up at 8am though I noticed I was very dizzy and out of it and had no physical energy like even just lifting my cup from the table seemed like an almighty task. Is this normal for propanolol? I'm thinking of only taking it when needed.
