Hi,
I've been on 80mg slow release propanolol for a few years but I've still always been dealing with a certain degree of anxiety. More recently my anxiety is with me daily and is starting to effect how I function generally.
In particular my heart rate goes up and I get brain fog. I've seen a new dr this last week who has run an ECG which was fine.
He wants me to up my propanolol to 160mg slow release over the day....by taking 1 of my 80mg pills twice a day.
He said it will be fine but I'm just a bit worried....I don't like changing medication etc. He says it will just calm me down.
I do feel I will burn out if I stay like this and 80mg clearly isn't enough at the moment. It's OK in the morning but by afternoon I'm all wound up and then worn out by evening.
Is anyone else on 160 mg? I seem to keep reading about much lower amounts.
Thanks,
Lisa
