Propranolol side effects??

[mamaxbear]

I’ve just started taking propranolol for anxiety last night and I’ve woken up this morning with horrendous sickness and diarrhoea. Anyone else had experience with propranolol? How long do these side effects last?🤢

What does are you on?
I've never experienced this and nor has mu son

40mg once daily for now

Also use to have propananol daily and never experienced this Op.

Could you have caught a bug?

I've also never experienced gastro issues with propranolol. I suppose it's possible, what did you eat yesterday?

I've been taking it for a couple of months now, 40mg for anxiety when needed. I'd say around 50% of the time I get diarrhoea, which is extremely annoying as I mainly take it in order the leave the house. Its a known side effect.

Your in a low dose, could you take 20mg twice a day instead? You cam get the tablets in 10's and 20's so might be looking into.

whats the lowest functional dose you take? anyone on propranolol for several years now?

Some years ago I took propranolol for anxiety. They started me on 10mg every day. The starter dose was 25mg I believe. After one week I had horrendous diarrhoea and came straight off it. I suspect it lowered my bp but I'm not sure. I then went into withdrawal as my antidepressants had gone straight through me. Never again.

I haven’t taken this medication since this thread. I’m too scared!
