Anyone got experiance of propranolol?

[spookycharlotte121]

Just started taking it for anxiety problems and its great.... i still feel a little worried but im kinda detached the whole horrible feelings of it. Its getting better and better with each day im taking it and for the first time in ages I think i feel in control of my life

I googled it and people said you gain weight with it. Im strugglinng with depression still and am already 3 stone overweight and am desperate to lose weight. I think I will go nuts if I put any more on.

soooo has anyone else been on it?

Yes I've been on propranolol. I personally found it didn't help much with my anxiety - it stopped the adrenaline rushes but I still felt really badly anxious.
It didn't get to the root of the problem IYSWIM.

However, if it is helping you that is great!
I don't remember reading anything about weight gain on it. I don't think that's a side effect of propranolol.

i took propanolol for palpatations connected to thyroid problems. i did gain weight but it was due to other thyroid drugs, maybe that why others have gained weight on it?

I have used it occassionally and found it helpful. Didn't gain any weight. It does kind of slow things down hence the weight gain if taken for a long period.

thanks for the replys. thta puts my mind at rest
