propranolol

[anx mum]

Doc has perscribed me propranolol as due to anxiety my pulse is racing has anyone had any good experiences with this.

I'm only on day 1, but only positives so far... when I was in the Docs i was rattlin' big time, but i'm relaxed now... The anxiety "thoughts" are still there, but i'm a lot calmer about things..

Oh I did feel a bit sick earlier but I had some water and it passed.

I take propanolo occasionally for heart palpitations and I'm fine on them. They def help with calming things down. My dr said loads of people take them before a driving test or public speaking, etc. Are you having a bad time on them.

My Doc put me on 40mg to take one when i feel anxious - they certainly do work!
But i still have horrid sleep patterns and dreams-I wake every morning drenched in sweat after vivid dreams but is it the drug?

Unfortunately bad dreams can be a side effect. I have had vivid dreams even on a low dose but have found they have subsided after a few weeks. It's worth it for the positive effect of calming heartrate.

I take 40mg twice a day and have done so for the past year, without propranolol I would really struggle to cope as anti depressants don't agree with me. I have no adverse side effects to propranolol and although it doesn't stop me having panic attacks it does slow my heart rate and ease anxiety.
