I have been using Proprananol for over 5 years now and have to say it does work when you take it.

I have had no side affects whilst I have been taking it and continued fitness training throughout the full time and it actually helped my performance as I could do longer sets.

I felt cured of my social phobia so i stopped taking the tablets for about 1 year and after a series of highly stressful situations I got worse, now I am unable to go to my doctors as I am afraid which sounds stupid but I know when I go and get the tablets then I will be back to my normal self.

I think if I had of taken Behaviour therapy along with the Proprananol then I would be in a better state now I would say.

Hello

I was prescribed the extended release version of propranolol, does anyone know if this acts differently? Thanks.

you take a shot and its got a longer half life i imagine, more convenient.

Im amazed at all the positives, sure it eludes physical symptoms of anxiety stress but its not all that good without CBT in the long run IMO. I dont show symptoms of stress but theyre there because my temples and forehead goes numb if ive had a bad episode, and additionally i have less apathy for anything.

I fail to believe that anybody on 10mg a day can see huge benefits, they must have extremely mild anxiety and gone to the doctors very early, i say well done though i guess.

I have been taking it for 2 weeks it worked for 2 days then stopped. But im only taking 10 mg a day. A Secret, Also if you want it to work better and faster put it under your tongue and it will dissolve, taste kind of nasty but not that bad just wash it down with water.

After a bit of persuasion my psych presribed me some 40mg propranolol tablets. He didn't give a recommended dosage so can anyone advice how much I should be taking and when? I weigh 90kg. Do I take it daily or only in situations where i know im gonna be anxious?

well ive been taking 80mg daily and going to work and havnt had any shaking... it's been stressfull too which is what excerbates the shaking/trembling and other symptoms. I can report nil sa physical symptoms

Ive also gone to work taking nothing and seeing what happens...no shaking that day either. It must be situation/condition based but ill keep experiementing and ill post the results for everyone here

I think I shake normally without the sa version too so I have to discern where abouts the problem is coming from
