Was on 10mg for about 3 months then went up to 20 for the last year. Generally feel ok but v fuzzy. Eg. Yesterday I had a very vivid memory of having really dirty fingernails from digging up old bits of crockery, and going to eat out somewhere afterwards and trying to surreptitiously clean my hands.

BUT all the details of the memory were missing- I couldn't say whereabouts it happened, whether it was a restaurant or cafe, etc. After about 10 mins it finally came to me- it was on holiday last summer, in a seafood restaurant, I washed my hands in the bathroom...

I also take 20mg propranolol for anxiety which makes me tired. I hate feeling so slowed down and I really want to come off them, but I agreed with my doc not to til after I leave uni in 2 months' time. How I sat exams like this I don't know!

Has anyone else experienced this and does it lift when you wean off?
