i went to the doctors today and he felt i was suffering from anxiety from the sound my problems. Anyway he put me on propanol and i don't like the side effects that i have read can come with them.. whats your experience with them? and are you able to take pain killers while on them? as i am suffering from a stiff neck at the minute

I'm on 40 mg twice daily and be so for about 2 months. I love it for my racing heart and it keeps my BP low most of the times, which is good since my anxiety causes my BP to spike. But unfortunately, if i get anxious enough the propranolol doesn't seem to do anything. Also it's supposed to help with sweating that comes with anxiety, but i still sweat right though it.

the doctor did also recommend anti depressants which i was on 2 years ago.. but he said i would find it hard to come off them, but last time i never found it hard at all...

you know when your anxiety comes on do you sometimes feel as though you cant breath? ever more so when you lie down flat on your back in bed?

Are you sure you have the correct spelling of the drug you were prescribed?... because the one you have spelled out is controversial but available in your country. Perhaps you meant...Propranolol?
