    Hi - Do beta blockers work

    My doc prescribed me with Half beta prograne 80mg, i havent yet started taking these but feel i really ought to.

    Is anyone else on these, do they work and do they have any bad side affects.

    Would really appreciate any advice...

    Never worked for me (gave me really low BP) but there are a lot of people on the forum who take them and it's supposed to be very good for physical symptoms of anxiety, panic etc. Give them a go - you won't know how they affect you till you take them!

    they help with the physical symptoms such as palpitations and overbreathing but they dont relax your sympathetic nervous suystem i dotn think, I didnt find them useful personally but my doctor assures me hes successfully used them to treat anxiety plenty of times.

    Hi, I was on these for about a week before my GP prescribed Citalopram. They didn't work for me, but like everyone else already said you will not know until you try.

    I didn't have any side effects if that helps.
