ive got propranalol and took one today, felt marginally better so think i will take 2 next time and see how that feels.
Was practice nurse who said gauge it to how you feel so thats what im doing.
Do they make you sleepy or what?

They haven't made me sleepy which is a bonus i suppose! be really careful though how much you take, space it out, so if you take 2 tmrw, have morn and eve cos they can drop your blood pressure and heart rate.

ok, not together then.
Ive only got 16 so ive got to take it easy on them but wanted to see how much i would need to take for maximum benefit.

i'm sure they will help, my df took them for nerves and said they were great!
have you tried rescue remedy, thats meant to be quite good....

I use propanolol - one 40mg dose sorts out any amount of nerves!

Donbean · 19/10/2006 18:26
