So my doctor is starting to do some trial and error to see if we can find a medication or combination of medications that will control my CS a bit. Has anyone ever taken propranolol? The first thing I tried was Avert and even at the highest dose it did nothing other than give me severe dry mouth and impair my thinking. He has just started me on a low dose of 5mg twice per day of propranolol (a beta blocker) which is traditionally used for high blood pressure and anxiety. My blood pressure is fairly normal so I hope it is not affected negatively. I do have anxiety but everyone does, and mine is generally when I am soaking wet at work from my CS all over my body. Just wondering if anyone else has went this route. The pharmacist said the biggest side effects are low blood pressure, fatigue and dizziness. I am excited to see if it works but I realize I am probably not going to get relief so early in this trial and error process. Just wondering if anyone has experience with it. It also has to be taken every day which worries me. I would prefer to only take it the days I need it but if it works then I am willing to do whatever it takes.
