I've been prescribed propranolol 80 mg for anxiety but I'm too scared to take them has anyone had any bad experience from them
Oi. Tenho um medo terrível de qualquer medicamento após alguns efeitos colaterais ruins de remédios para o coração alguns anos atrás. Meu médico me deu propranolol para minha ansiedade. Ele me deu a dose baixa de 10 mg. Parece que seu médico pode começar com uma dose baixa, assim como eu fiz, apenas para testar os efeitos colaterais. Até agora, tudo bem para mim. Ouço falar de pessoas como nós que dizem que este medicamento foi um salva-vidas para elas. Me avise como funciona para você. Cada pessoa é diferente.
Emma,
I have been on propranolol 40mg three times a day for about 4 months now. I was put on them for anxiety and had what I would describe as a week of hell / mini breakdown caused by stress. Once prescribed propranolol I was very worried about taking them as I was in a distressed state as it was.
My wife put me under orders to man up and take them, which I did and they made a massive positive difference, don't be scared, give them time and take them as prescribed.
The only side effect I had for the first week or so was problems sleeping, but that was probably my general stress levels and NOT propranolol.
Hi Emma,
I am also having this same worry, mainly due to what I have been reading about people who have taken propanalol and the fact that i was once told i had very low blood pressure when i was in a situation that scared me, and as propanalol can cause low blood pressure this makes me very fearful of taking the drug when i may already have low blood pressure at times. The side effects listed worry me, I am contacting my doctor for advice on taking them I would suggest you do the same if you havent. Have you yet taken them?
Kind Regards,
James
