I've taken these they are not a long term tablet to take for anxiety if its severe were you given anything else to take? Propranolol usually works after an hour or so.

Fluoxetine which has helped with the depression but not the anxiety. Doc trying Propranolol for the anxiety before upping the Fluoxetine.

About 20 mins for me. I have 40mg up to 3 times a day.

Very quickly, about half an hour to an hour, but my tablets are 40mg.

Like other posters I take 40 mg up to three times a day and it works within 30 mins.
