Propranolol ??

[MardyBum]

The Dr have just given me a script for Propranolol 40mg are these good do they help I know last time I was having my attacks I was given them but they were only 10mg and I didnt think they helped at all.

Does anyone use these and if you do how are they?

thanks Lesley xx

hi there,
i have been on propanolol for about five years on and off and they do greatly reduce the panic symptons and calm you down but can make you a bit tired.

lol well that prob wont make a difference casue im always tired lol

I take 40mg 2 or 3 times a day and they seemed to have helped a lot. I am hypertensive anyway, but they certainly seemed to have stopped the heart related symptoms. The only downside for me is I used to be pretty fit, but now struggle to do as much as I used when I exercise. Bar that I havent had any major side effects

but when i go out will they stop me feelin the dizzyness sweets etc, will these just calm me down so I dont get them anymore?

They wil help the racing heart rate and stop some of the breathlessness.

They are not a calming agent.

I do get the racing heart but not the breathlessness. Normally for me its racing heart, sweats, shakes, like im going to be sick and hot flushes.

EDIT
just looked at the side affects and the look quite scary! am I just being silly I know i used to take 10mg of these with no side affects with the 40mg make much of a difference?

You should be fine Lesley. The side-effects with propanolol are pretty minor anyway..
