    Propranolol has been around for 60 years. It is often prescribed to heart attack survivors at doses of 120-320mg/day so 10mg is a tiny dose.

    It works by blocking beta-adrenergic receptors which diminishes the adrenaline, aka epinephrine, fueled symptoms of an anxiety/panic attack. The most common side-effect is tiredness.

    Thank you, I'm supposed to take my first pill in a few hours and I am sick with panic over it. I'm scared I'm going to have a bad reaction and need to go to the hospital

    10mg propranolol is probably less likely to harm you than a sugar pill.
