Propranolol for anxiety?

Does anyone take propranolol?

I take it for a tremor, but it helps with my anxiety as well.

Yes, I take 20mg propranolol as a PRN and also as part of my daily med regimen.

It has been helpful for me— hope it is helping you too :+1:

Yes, sometimes. I suffer from panic attacks. I try to avoid taking them though.

When I was on them daily I felt less aggressive, had less anxiety and felt more peaceful.

I avoid taking them because I’m on enough drugs.

I take it when I don’t have Lorazepam as a PRN.

It’s pretty good for anxiety.

I took one two hours ago. Still feeling bit restless.

Seems like 10mg was not enough for today. Works well otherwise.

Take it as PRN though.

They started me off on a stupidly low dose and as the anxiety was driven by psychosis that was when they gave me Vortioxetine

I took 160mg for about a decade.
Sometimes I’d get confused especially if my pulse dropped below 60bpm.
I would get episodic pins and needles in hands and feet to start [especially at night] and later in my limbs/torso/face.
I now have peripheral neuropathy but I was a heavy drinker too. It is the only drug where withdrawal and cessation brought only benefits. The most unexpected of which was dramatic improvement in my hearing. Very strange!
