What propranolol dose do you take?

[Mumma02]

Just been prescribed slow release 80mg once per day for tachycardia. Super scared to take it as never been on meds before.

Anyone taken this dose before? Benefits? Side effects?

I take 80mg once per day for migraines. I felt a little weak at first, until my body got used to it, but now it's fine. It has definitely helped me

I also take 80mg for migraine prophylaxis - have done for about 14 years now. Never noticed any side effects at all.

40mg twice a day and I'm knackered tbh. Not sure I can stay on this amount for long. I'm taking it for help with anxiety, though.

The side effects is what I'm worried about. Especially fatigue which I already have!

I take 20mg for situational anxiety. It makes me a little tired, possibly because it drops my blood pressure, but it's not too bad.

I am also prescribed Ivabradine for POTS (Postural Tachycardia Syndrome). If you struggle to tolerate propranolol and you're under cardiology, please ask them about it. It doesn't cause me any side effects at all and doesn't affect blood pressure.

^ I don't take them together obviously. I only take propranolol occasionally before things that cause anxiety for me.
