Propranolol can cause diabetes I just found out so get your blood tested

I found an empty ‘Propranolol’ foil pak pill container on the floor, just inside my front door.
Never heard if it before, so I looked it up online, and still can’t figure out who would have dropped it, or why it was there in the first place.

I was the first person home, and the last one to leave that morning, so…?

Propranolol

It seems used as an off-label drug for the treatment of akathisia.

Treatment
Case reports and small randomized studies suggest benzodiazepines, propranolol, and anticholinergics may help treat acute akathisia, but are much less effective in treating chronic akathisia

Managing antipsychotic-induced acute and chronic akathisia. - Miller CH, Fleischhacker WW, Drug Saf. 2000 Jan;22

…Based on the available literature, propranolol or other lipophilic beta-blockers seem to be the most consistently effective treatment for acute akathisia.

I use propranolol hydrochlroride for panic attacks - no every day just if I know I’m going out somewhere.

I have used it before for tremors and fast heartbeat. Very effective.
