    Does anyone take this for ectopics?

    I've been given propranolol to take on an as and when needed basis. I've had terrible ectopics now for the last week and i am still too scared to take them.
    Can anyone give me an idea of if they do work...or not?
    Side effects?

    Heeeeeeeeeelp!

    Panic attacks started in 1992. 1998 i became agoraphobic which lead into being room bound. Couldn't even get upstairs. 2002 i started getting better, able to drive and work. 2005 i became house bound again. 2009 i have been making SLOW progress, still not able to go anywhere alone, but my journeys are getting longer. No where near 'normal' but at least i can go out.

    they are a tried and tested meds for anxiety but mainly for blood pressure. The aim is they slow your heart down slightly. Most people have no side effects

    I've been on them for about 3 or 4 weeks and they've slowed my heart rate down, but I still get panic attacks so they're probably good for anxious people who are sitting exams for example, but not so good for people like me who suffer panic attacks which are more mental based, not physical.
    As for side effects, none I can think of...
