My doctor prescribed me Propranolol 40mg x3 daily but only said take them when you need them, this was a week ago and I've been taking them everyday, full dose, but today I've felt good, like better than I've felt in ages, so I've not taken any today, is this ok or should i be taking them anyway???
I hope I've not done the wrong thing and this makes me feel worse later on.
thanks

Danielle,
I'd have to ask the dr. about that one.
It could be that taking them for that week has leveled you out, and maybe continuing them for another week, then tapering down might be a good way to go. They must have helped you since you are feeling so well today.
I have heard that you can "break the cycle" with meds and then just not need them any more. Perhaps this is what happened?
Either way, i vote for asking the dr.
Hi Danielle
Don't stop taking pro pranalol when you feel better - it's an amazing drug that helped me so much, may just
Cut down the amount you are taking instead?
SO glad to hear you are feeling so much brighter :-)

Thanks for the responses guys, i have an appointment at my doctors tomorrow so will ask her about cutting down the dosage. I still wont cut them out all together as i know i would still have panic attacks on a night, which is when they mainly occur. I know I'm still having the panic attacks, sounds strange but i can still feel then even tho the propranolol takes away the physical side of them so still think there's work to be done.
But thanks again for the advice.
