Should i take propranolol or not?

[lucy030188]

basically i have only been suffering anxiety for a few months since a traumatic event in our family which i wont go into!

i feel really really sick most of the time, but i really didnt want to take any tablets, i know its something i need to get over myself!

Having been refered for cbt my doctor said i should take propranolol short term to try and stop the physical symptons so i can concentrate onthe cbt....what are your opinions!? will the propranolol take away the sickness?

thanksx

hi, i was given propranolol for anxiety after seing my dad so ill. he is now better but i got anxiety afterwards and panic attacks. i was scared 2 take them at first but had a bad panic attack whilst out and just took one. after about half an hour i felt so chilled out but was doing things as normal like picking my son up from school e.t.c......i only took them for 3 days and come off them of my own accord....i still feel a bit panicky now and then but i get over it myself by counting slowly backwards from 200. hope this has helped a bit. x

Im taking propranolol for high anxiety and panic attacks after goin through a lot this year, i only take it when i feel a panic attack coming on. But if im feeling anxious and no signs of a panic attack, i try to deal with it the best i can, try to distract myself, but if its not workin then i'll take 1or 2 x 10mg propranolol(dependin how bad im feelin). It eases off the anxiety, it really is good, for me anyway. If ur a bit scared of takin it, why dont u try half a pill or half the dosage that's been prescribed to u? Good luck

Hi Lucy I thouhgt you were taking them its only a very mild dose. Just take them when u are feeling really anxiuos and they will help in these times. The more u worry about taking them the sicker u will feel. XXXXXXXXXX
