Propranolol, Taken Today

[RossIreland89]

Hello Everyone,

My name is Ross, I am from Ireland

I went to see my new GP today, the past couple of years I have had some really bad problems with Anexiety, I went to see my old GP a few times and he never listened to me so it never got better.

Past few weeks it's been getting worse again, I have been haveing really bad sleeping problems and my stress levels are really high.

I got a prescription for Propranolol today, 10mg tabs to be taken 3 times a day, she told me to take one tonight and I did at 10pm and I have to say I feel a little better already

The one thing im a little confused about as I have Asthma, and on the tabs box it says dont take if you have it but I trust my new GP's judgements.

Are there any side effects to this drug and how long can I expect to be on it ?

Hi Ross,

Just to be sure, I'd double check with your doc or a pharmacist that it's ok to take prop when you have asthma.

I've been taking 3x10mg daily for about 12 years and don't get any side effects x

Ross how did you get on with the propanolol?
