hiya,

hello there ive been taking propanolol 80mg for a couple of weeks now and they seem to be making a difference, my symptoms have subsided somewhat and im also taking anti d's which work well with the propanolol. I dont read the leaflets as knowing about side effects etc makes me feel worse.
i have been perscribed 10mg three times a day, i know i shouldnt have looked at the side effects i was just worried and curious! do you know anyone else that have taken these? x
i know people that have been prescribed them for migraines but not for panic attacks. we are on low doses because i think they go up to over 300mg so what we are on is relatively low in comparison. They have to print the side effects on these things just to cover themselves really, my doctor said to me that the most common side effects with propranolol are weird dreams, cold hands/feet and tingling in the fingers (all of which i had but wore off after about 10 days) x
Propanalol have been really good for me, been on them 11 months, on 80mgs a day and they have been so helpful. I hate taking tablets, and I do worry about side effects, but honestly I have to say that the benefits certainly outweigh any side effect.

Hi Victorialouise
I take propanolol and I wouldn't be without them. I feel so much better and they certainly help with the anxiety.
May I gently remind you that your doctor prescribed those tablets for you NOT for your boyfriend. I have no doubt that one dose will do him no harm however it is unwise to give your meds to another person and it is also unwise to take meds prescribed for someone else. Look at the leaflet again and it will tell you this.
Take care.
Hello thyme the doctor prescribed them for us both as we both suffer with anxiety plus he gave them him 4 his chest pains..I would not take others medication especially when im too scared too take my own..he as already started his i have not yet just hope i will try again tomorrow xx
