Propranolol

[Fleabaneofmylife]

I was prescribed propranolol yesterday for situational and health anxiety. My daughter’s prom is tonight and I can already feel the jitters and nausea building. Do they start to work straight away? I’m worried about any side affects on such an important night. I have been prescribed 40mg tablets to take on an as and when basis or up to 3 a day.

Yes they should work within half an hour. It’s a small dose.

yes my dd takes it for pots but it does help her anxiety too it works within the hour

They will work quickly. I’ve not hide side effects with them.

This is really encouraging thank you. It’s such a big night and I don’t want to feel crappy!

Does anyone here have experience of sometimes taking 3 a day and sometimes as and when?

Yes my dd can take them as required. They usually last about 6 hours.
she takes one on waking and then 1/2 6 hours later and 1/2 a tab at bed. 80mgs all in.

I was given this for anxiety. It did fuck all for me I’m afraid.
