Whoever is reading this, I wish you good health and without palpitations and anxiety. 🙏🏻😊 I am one who chronically suffers from them so I know how crippling and worrying these conditions can feel, especially when the heart pumps so fast.
Thank you! 💛
I’m going through this right now! It’s the worst feeling ever!
Sincerely hope you’re ALL*(
Horrible feelings, and in that Moment you feel terribly alone, because when web die we are alone, and in that Moment we are sure that we are dying. A real Nightmare
Most scary thing you can feel fighting it now
this medication has been helping me a lot with anxiety
what type of anxiety specifically if i may ask?
@@haSHAH1 it’s been helping me more with my physical symptoms such as racing heart, sweaty palms, extreme blushing. i didn’t realize how much my physical symptoms kick start the rest of my worrying. but i’ve had less racing thoughts, less obsessive thinking. it’s also helped with my ADD. i can slow down and think one thought at a time for once which has been helping with my impulsive urges. the only complaint i have is tht my social anxiety seems to be the same but i think tht just takes breaking outta my shell.
@@haSHAH1 i take it 3 times a day, 10 mg.
@@DesireeZeidel thanks for the info and all the best 🙂
@@DesireeZeidel ...just watch after few weeks use of this drug your blood pressure will not remain stable
Thank you. My Doctor, as nice as he is, did not tell me much about Propranolol. I'm taking it for anxiety (i think) and panic attacks. 40mg 3 times a day. This video was really helpful, cheers.
Just started it. It does make me dizzy. First week. God bless everyone.
Best medicine in the world to me. I’ve always had uncontrollable shaking, benign tremor, my whole life. Not because of nervousness, just discomfort. It was ruining my life cause everyone thought I was scared of everything. I went to the doctor at about age 22ish and he wrote it for me and my life is a million times better now.
I have here same, problem...How much mg do you take ?
But are u now addicted to it sir ?
Same for me, i don’t have any bad though process as to why i should be nervous or anxious it kinda just happens in my body automatically. Gonna look into propranolol
@@hopegaming867 Dont Rely On It ..

Robert clancey prayer for anxiety on your tube put your ear plugs in your ear and listen as much as you need God will deliver you from the sprit of anxiety only believe it helped me
In the mighty name of Jesus I decree and commnand that where ever these sicknesses came from, it will go back without delay. This I pray in Jesus name. Join this prayer on RUclips daily, God is calling you NSPPD
God is myth. If he were real, you wouldn't be on the internet asking strangers for their prayers. You are your
lord and master. You can itemize your issues, research ideas for making things better, and then do those things.
If you have access to RUclips, you have access to internet research tools. There are so many ideas for calming, dealing with anxiety, being able to sleep, etc. Maybe you'll end up with a different version of things you used to do. No big deal. If you nap instead of straight sleep, it's still rest. teeth and gums. Brush well and regularly and get a good mouthwash. One with chlorhexedine will help to clear and heal gums. It is prescription only. Meanwhile, get
a no-alcohol antiseptic mouthwash. Swish at least 30 seconds. After eating, if you can't brush right away, drink water, swish and swallow. Do this a few times to rinse food from your teeth and gums. There are solutions.
However, reliance on a non-existent super being will not do it. This is YOU. And, YOU CAN DO IT.
Praying for you Abel. 🙏🏻
I have terrible social anxiety, with hand tremors, and not wanting to leave my house. If I take 10 mg. I can get out to get my groceries.
Some days I wake up and feel shaky all over. It’s a horrible feeling plus my hands shake really bad. Taking 10 mg. In the morning and 10 at night helps me function and not be so ashamed of myself.
I have the same dose as you and I absolutely share your thoughts on this. For us the drug is definitely beneficial ❤️
Don’t be ashamed of yourself. It’s something that you can’t control. It’s been something I’ve been dealing with my whole life. Glad you’re getting your life back.
@@ChefBurns1 Invisibility... Another thing the future failed to provide.

How's you blood sugar level ? Do you feel hungry after a period of 5 to 6 hours without food associated severe dizziness, shakiness?
I have never seen someone speak “you can die very quickly” so comfortably 😂
It helps and keeps my heart from racing from my panic disorder
Same here. That's why I'm watching the video.
It's was prescribed to me by the ER doctor.
@@FriendChicken does it help with hyperventilating? I hyperventilate when in nervous situations and can’t get words out
@@rolandmccarthy1780 It does because my hyperventilation comes with my panic attack and propranolol prevents my heart dfrom palpitating too much. Does preventing my panic attack. It gives me positive reinforcement.
@@rolandmccarthy1780 but my doctor told me stop taking it and replaced it with an antidepressant and another one to augment it.
@@rolandmccarthy1780 I've red somewhere in the internet while researching propranolol and it's effects that it's also prescribed to people who gets attacks when in a nervous situation.
I have used this medicstion after coming down from partying. I would take 1 to 2 dozes max and it has saved my life many times. I have stopped those bad habbits and live a healther life now and rarely take it anymore unless I am feeling higjh anxiety which is rare.
I have suffered from labile blood pressure for years. My regular BP is good about 120/70, then for no obvious reason it can go up extremely high. I am not an anxious person but it's a worry when this happens. Finally my Cardio recently suggested I try a very small beta-blocker dose - 12.5mg - when this happens - then, 15 minutes later a further 12.5mg. It worked like a dream.
This med helps me a lot. Taken before a big or stressful event, it controls both my BP and heart palpitation. Taken as needed at 10 mg.
i also have alot of anxiety i start panic before presentation my heart beat fast and i cannot speak , will it help me
@@lifesucks4950 it works for me but you need to speak to your doctor though cos not all drugs work for everyone.
Do u need to take it three times a day or just when need it
@@bandukleiceste1922 my rx says once daily as needed
How did you stop this medicine??
Very informative. Only vid I watched all the way through on this matter.
Whew i’m taking this because i’ve failed my driving test twice because of anxiety.
I am pretty familiar with propranolol. It was prescribed to me a few years back. I am no longer taking it. Quick story: I discovered palpitations around 2006. They came out of nowhere after I had my very first and a really massive panic attack. It was like nothing that I had ever experienced in my whole life. ‘Doom’ doesn’t even come close to describing what I felt. From there, I regularly experienced rapid heart beats and even fluttering of the heart. Sometimes it would feel like my chest was caving in on me. The journey was extremely long, hard, and lonely. And I’ve had more ECG’s, echos and chest X-rays performed on me than I can even count, and I’m a finance professional. Today, once in a while I get rapid heart beats and fluttering. So, I can empathize with anyone who may be experiencing it, and I’m so, so sorry. Hopefully, you have family to help you cope and heal while you receive treatment and advice from a doctor. Unfortunately for me, my family was not supportive, but then again, they never were. Take care and please be well! ❤️
Wow I had to stop reading half way I’ve had so many X rays went to different hospitals blood tests checked everything I was gonna go as far as mri and ct scan lol man I’m taking this now 20mg I really hope it works I started today 30 mins ago I hope and pray everyone a good health and happy life. I will keep updated.
@@MrAntwaun_MBA thank you brother, so Update, I haven’t took this for 2 months or so I just had to quit smoking weed and cigarettes also sleep better and my health. I’m doing much better just gotta quit the cigarettes I smoke couple a day or any other day I quit smoking weed 3 months now and gotta adjust my sleep. But I hope everyone finds their cure. It’s better to not take anything in my opinion unless you really need it.
@calitruckdriver20Amen Amen Amen 🎉25
Great job Doc. Nice clear useful information with excellent delivery. Thank you for this piece.
Great video and you obviously care a lot. The ideal doctor right here. Described propranolol perfectly and the medicine is very helpful for me, not for everyone.
I was prescribed this medication, for headaches,, nothing has really worked for migraines,, I have a headache all the time, I’ve taken exedrin mostly,, but also have used prescribed other medications,, so just doing a little research before I start taking it
has it helped???!!!
I have Arrhythmia and my Doctor proscribed this med to me and this med also helps me when my Anxiety attacks.
Same here me too ,how did it make you feel ,I just bought mine and I’m scared to take it
@@Rudy_yah actually I'm only take one pill when my heart beats starts to beats fast again and i don't feel dizzy after taking it, it was just my feet and my hands start to get cold.
Hey jangmi I’m just seeing your reply ..do you take it everyday for arrhythmia? I have sinus tachycardia and after taking propranolol it calms my heart ,but gets worse when the medicine is out my system ..and gives me chest discomfort.pls reply how long have you been on it for arrhythmia
@@Rudy_yahNo, I only take meds when my heart rate goes up again. About meds, I started taking it last Year since I can't control my heart rate anymore due to stress and anxiety.
@@missingyou21 thank you 😊
You don't need propranolol for anxiety. Good luck getting a doctor to prescribe it in the United States. The American Heart Association only supports three beta blockers, metropol, carvedilol, and nibevilol. But really, they all work to some extent with anxiety. Carvedilol has done wonders for me.
Thanks for the good luck wishes it worked for me and i got it easily by 2 doctors you are the best!
My doctor subscribed this to me for preventing migraines. Didn’t help with migraines but that 120mg of propranolol Jesus felt so good. It is like for a second life feels so great, even if everything is not good, you feel suddenly that life is beautiful. Even the colors become brighter, this was the best drug i took. Just cost me 90 dollar per month out of pocket i quit taking it.
I am thinking of taking it for my mom as she has severe migraines... What u say?
@@bilalasim6289 don't take advices fr here.
Consult your doctor

Great informative video. I was prescribed this when I was seeking Alprazolam for sporadic work anxiety as well as flight anxiety. I typically take 1-2 doses a day at 10mg each, it's very mild but seems to keep my anxiety down. Also if I wake up at 2-3:am I'll take one and seems to help me chill and fall back to sleep within a half hour.
For real effect take 40mg minimum
Tryed
What if I may ask, is flight anxiety?
@@lindagregory5618 I never had issues flying before but had a flight years back where the turbulence was so violent everyone was praying and screaming, scared the life out of me. After that every time I was on a flight with any turbulence I'd get extreme anxiety expecting the potential of the turbulence getting crazy like it did before. Taking a xanax/alprazolam seems to reduce this particular anxiety substantially... the Propranolol does help as well, not as well as a xanax or schedule iv type though.
@@cyberghost_01 pretty ill advised to suggest dosages to strangers.
I'm in UK and have just been prescribed these as I've been dealing with anxiety at bed time especially and was worried about taking this pill. Thanks for the explanation, good video!
Hi Sophia, I was prescribed the exact same thing a few months ago and they have been working amazingly. I will say dont stop taking it abruptly because when I did, the anxiety came back even worse than before so take care.
@@baddogbling thanks for the advice xx
@Light4you I tried them for the first time yesterday. I did feel calmer and less panicky and with no side effect. This is the first time I've been prescribed something for anxiety so I can not compare them to anything but so far so good.
@Light4you Hey, basically I had to start taking them because my anxiety got out of control. For the long term I definitely want to stop taking them but that means I need to first work though my anxiety which will take time. Don't worry about taking them if they have been really working for you, but try using other natural techniques to calm your anxiety and if those don't work then take them. That's what I did and its helped a lot. If you have any other qs feel free to ask. Good luck!
@Light4you My first dose was 40mg which worked really well so yeah start small. I haven't had any side effects so far, and ive gone all the way up to 120mg before so dw. Sleep well and good luck!
I took a Propranolol for migraines unfortunately l had to get to 80mg before the migraines stopped.
The drug numbs your mind, so after 2 years of struggling to push forward and find another way, l came of it.
Iv try so many other drugs none worked. I decided to go drug free and workout more when migraines stopped being constant.
Been drug free for 2months now, have to be so careful what l eat and drink.
I'm exercising more(swimming & yoga,have always done these exercises when able to).
I'm seeing a chiropractor hoping it will help as well.
Hoping to do Botox soon, got to give it a go💉 long road to get there on the NHS though, sorry Americans out there, free here.
Good luck ☘ if your on this drug for anything hope it helps works for you. Alot of people on this drug for mild anxiety, long term l think exercising would be better and medication.
Sending health and happiness 🥰
Get some L Threonate magnesium, it’s good for your nervous system ❤😊
@@hazelisted7710 thankyou lv been on Magnesium a long time it good for MCAS that's what courses my migraines. Just started botox's it's helped alot. Will be going down a more homeopathic route going forward.
That explains my breathing issues after taking this.
It's been helpful with drug withdrawal symptoms..
I already have all that and was prescribed this today. Along with another.
And now, 1 year later?
Very helpful. I wish more Doctors would break down meditations that we are prescribed and let the patient make an informed decision. I chose NOT to take this medication a few years ago, prescribed after ONE episode to the hospital. I am only now learning about beta blockers and heart medication. Best decision for me was to be leery. Life or death prescriptions I would consider more serious BUT, I would still investigate. That’s who I am. The investigator. 😂
Just started 3 dyas ago with this Pill, I have a GAD syndrome developed tru my birth control pills, I have had a terrible pannic attacks that made me feel like its my end of life. But since I discovered this pill It really helps me to overcome my Anxiety and few phobia’s. I am in 10mg tablet taking 1tablet only when needed for maximum of 3x day, soo far i have no bad side effects from this drug.
Hey just wanted to find out do you think it would help for clusterphobia due to flying?
Very good video. I wish I had you as a doctor.
Starting this was rough for my gut. Horrible digestive issues.
Dear Erik, I have been using Propranolol in low dosage (10-20mg) to help with performance anxiety (spiking heart rate and weak voice) when doing big presentations or interviews. I use it very sparingly, perhaps once every couple months or less, depending on what's happening in life. My question - should I be using it, or should I be working through that anxiety as it seems natural for most people? What causes anxiety for me is the increased heart rate, so preventing that allows me to perform at my best and reach my full potential - BUT I don't want to be totally reliant on it and would rather not need it. I am working on this, but it requires deep internal work.
I get not wanting to take something. Taking it that infrequent though is not going to cause you any problems. Keep working on it but don't feel bad if you need to take it.
Look into cbd, helped with my anxiety
And it’s natural.
@@GandalftheGrey- what kind of situations do you use it for?
@@iestooo just regular day to day situations. Mostly do it for my well being.
But when I had to socialize with new people I found that being a little high on THC mixed with CBD helped me get rid of my worries and be way more open.
@@ErikRichardsonDO can you overdose on this drug? i saw a episode of untold stories of the er where a woman was brought to the er after she overdosed on it then she found out that she had bleeding in her brain i have hydrochephalus so is propranolol good for controlling this?
I didn’t fill my prescription for three days and I felt the difference - heart palpitations and anxiety . I felt better hours after I took it
Wow
So happy for you,
my doctor prescribed it to me because i told her about my anxiety and how bad it gets when i have to speak in front of groups of people at my new job. im a game guide for escape rooms so it kicks ass. i get really really sweaty which i never did, my head starts spinning and i go completely blank i hope this helps man
Did it help you?
@@cameronn661 unfortunately not really it just made me feel out of it and I would forget my script
@@angieagostini1892 were you taking it with anything else and what dosage ?
whelp... i just spent the entire night after the first day of taking this having stomach cramps, diarrhea, and insomnia. ugh...
I'm just gonna say... I enjoy this medication, but I am willing to learn more!
I take it after an hour or so after my Vvyance because I can definitely feel when my heart is beating a little fast. I take 80mg for anxiety because I have GAD.
The nausea gets on my nerves, but I take an antiemetic.
Thank you for the warnings.
You're awesome teaching about medications. ^_^
Yesterday I took 10mg and after that I felt dizzy. It caused insomnia too. I could not sleep all night. Whenever I tried to sleep Idk I felt something very uncomfortable in my head🥲. Btw my blood pressure is always low! I think that's why I feel so 🥺
It might have reduced your bp.
Check with your bp machine at such instances.
You may try low doses like 5 mg,but still check your bp before and after taking this medicine
It's good medication, but I'm on it for migraine prevention, anxiety symptoms and tachycardia, the problem is, its causing me to have respiratory issues. Tight chest and shallow breathing
I take 10mg 3 times a day it’s helping with my anxiety
I have been on this for a year for tremors. Seems to be doing it's job. It doesn't get rid of tremors but it does help. I take this along with another pill for tremors.
What other medication do you take for tremor? Mine is getting worse with my fibromyalgia.

How does it help hyperthyroidism? I was just prescribed for that, I don't understand why? Will it effect lab results?
i have terrible anxiety and the WORST physical symptoms but i get so nervous about taking new meds 🥴
plus i worry about my heart a lot and i don’t want it to stop my heart since it does cause low blood pressure and a lower heart rate 😞
It's a beta blocker lol. You will be fine. Trust me. I suffered from shit like this for years
Literally me. My anxiety is friggin awful. I have GAD and social anxiety, and I’ve coped for so long with it but now that I’m in school and have presentations it’s gotten so much worse. And a huge trigger for my anxiety is health related, especially my heart. I’m so scared to try new medications because I’ve seen my mom have bad reactions and almost die.
Anyway, my dr prescribed me propranolol and I have yet to try it for a presentation because I’m so scared I’m gonna have a reaction lmao. Such a vicious cycle!!!
@@korrine888 I would definitely give them a go, maybe start off on a low dose. I have used them in the past and they have worked for my physical symptoms and I’m going to be using them again. I never wanted to have to rely on medication for my anxiety but when it hits me hard I struggle so I will try whatever it takes to feel myself. I hope you find the help you need ❤️
@@shelbyboury3874 it won’t stop your heart. I was a cardiac nurse for years. It could make it go too slow or drop your blood pressure...but that’s why they start you on a low dose.
Secondly, your worry and anxiety are more dangerous to your health, than most of what you worry about. Isn’t that ironic. You create more havoc with worry than the things you worry about.
My heart goes out to you, because I’m a reformed worrier. I still worry, but not like I did.
This is not meant to be cliche...mindfulness is one of the most powerful tools. It helps you to use your mind to control your thoughts vs your thoughts controlling you. Big difference.
Often, healing from core wounds, subconscious programming (often develop in childhood) can help reset the autopilot internal dialogue, that creates a gerbil wheel of “what ifs” and the anxiety provoking things.
Deep breathing is so, so, so important. People downplay it sometimes, but the top doctors and psychologists, counselors, know its power. With some deep breathing exercises I was able to get a lady to calm down, who was starting to have a panic attack about a shot I needed to give her in her stomach.
It calmed her down and she asked “why has no one ever taught that to me?”
She didn’t even feel the shot.
The right deep breathing helps to activate your parasympathetic nervous system, the chill side, the opposite of the fight/flight/freeze (the sympathetic nervous system). Both can’t be activated at once. So, if you trick the calm side to be “on”, the anxious side mellows out.
That’s why yoga can help too. The breathing is what gets the brain to calm, to be in a mindful space. Yoga with Adrienne, was recommended by my DO, and she is awesome. Free incredible yoga on RUclips! It’s helped me too.
Also, The Personal Development School, RUclips channel, has helped me so much. I’ve done a lot of healing of my fearful avoidant attachment style. I’m way less anxious, as I’ve changed the thinking patterns that triggered the anxiety.
Check out her video on anxiety for starters.
I had a period of 1-2 weeks of complete peace, no fear, no anxiety, after watching her videos and listening to Eckhart Tolle.
That powerful.
You deserve that. Staying in the trap of worry and anxiety is a prison. I promise you can free yourself.
Sending light and love 💫
Going to ask my doctor about this next time I go in. I've had really bad travelling anxiety for years now, to the point i cant even do things like go to the beach with out at least one panic attack. it can get so bad i get nausea, shaking, short breath. sometimes its just easier to stay home but that always makes me feel guilty.. ugh i should probably go to a therapist lol
I have had the exact same issues the past 4 years. I roughly had it all down to me having a panic attack at these times. Mainly in an airport, long queues at security. It has helped keep researching I hope you find a solution
I had lots and really thick hair. In one month of taking it half of my hair is gone I have bald receding areas!! Even some of my underarm hair and other parts of the body shed. I had to stop taking it. I really hope my hair grows back. I'm only 21.
I hope your feeling better now & you & your hair are flowing x

Neurologist gave me this for tremors but doesn’t help
This medicine has helped with my fast/high heart rate. However it has caused EXTREMELY SEVERE hyperhydrosis so bad that I can't stop sweating even though I now stay in front of a stand fan at all times. The sweating is so bad I can't leave the fan and even sweat in my sleep waking up in soaking wet bedding.
On 80mg of this with HCTZ for 3 months...now I am prediabetic. My doc doesn't see the correlation even though there are many studies saying otherwise.Anyone else have this issue?
I take propranolol for night terrors it works really well. But it doesn’t help my Chronic migraines.
It reduces my heart rate from 100 +, to around 45-50. It sometimes helps with shaking. That’s it though. No changes to my anxiety what so ever.
it controls physical anxiety, you have to work on your mental.
@@johnjones3332 I’m aware of this, but people say it works on anxiety in other ways, but I was just sharing my experience and what the research also concludes.
I barely does anything for even my psychical symptoms.

I only take low dose 3 x 10 mg per day for anxiety but it gives me quite bad headaches and vertigo so I've decided to wean myself off it
Does insomnia from this medication go away
Hey doc!
A couple questions before starting:
1. Can this help with panic attacks? For example: I have a panic attacks when driving. My doctor recommended taking this before driving.
2. I have mild asthma. Use my inhaler maybe 3 times a week. Can I still use Ventolin while on this medication?
3. If my WBC is on the lower end of the normal spectrum, could this drop it under the normal range? I noticed you mentioned it effects blood count.
Thank you!
He can't really answer this for q few reasons.
1. He is not your personal doctor.
2. He does not know your full medical history and so cannot ethically recommend specific choices for you.
3. He did not prescribe the medication and so knows nothing about your dose, treatment protocol, etc.
This video is just general information. He does day several times to work with your doctor on it. And I would say the same. If you do seek out and get a prescription for it, I hope it helps you. All the best.
I’ve done a bunch of google searches. I can’t seem to get a clear answer. Does propanolol cause heart failure or does it prevent heart failure?
Does this med interface with alcohol??? How you should take this med??? Like empty stomach or with food.
How would you taper off this medication 5% off 1 mg at a time can you please tell me how you would withdraw someone from this medication
My Doctor just prescribed me this Medication 40 Mg because I been having a lot of migraine headaches a lot and when I start taking them they stop the pain so fast
Has anyone taken this for sleep? I am currently a federal agent and have seen some situations that have disturbed me. I'm having sleep panic attacks and wake up gasping and heart racing like crazy. It isn't sleep apnea. Have been on trazadone, prazosin (ptsd) and Seroquel at night for sleep.. but nothing is helping..would this help to put a person to sleep due to the slow heart rate? Thank you. Take care. Stay safe.
It gave me insomnia !!! I’m on it for Tremers & Shaking since I had COVID in July…I have a lot of long COVID symptoms & I’m a sleeper but I was only able to sleep for about 2 to 3hrs on this…But we all react differently to drugs cause our bodies r all different…Best of luck to u, my Heart goes out to u, will say prayers 🙏❤️🩹🇺🇸

I have hyperthyroidism, possibly Graves’ disease. I was taking 20mg a day, it didn’t alleviate my symptoms at all. Doc increased it to 40mg per day, it’s still not helping.
I've just beep put on this after finding out I have hyperthyroidism. It's helped with the tachycardia, bit I feel woozy from it.
I took 10 mg once and it ramped my anxiety badly. I don't know why. 4 days later I still feel like garbage. Ugh.
it gives me anxiety and nightmares. weightgain is a special treat. I wasn't told about the asthma thing and worse the hyperthyroid. I have no thyroid and run low usually. uugghhhh
did anyone experience weight gain or water retention?
On other medical websites, it says that propranolol can slow down hairloss, and it can help performance anxiety in the bedroom. One thing i don't understand is: if propranolol suppresses the sympathetic nervous system and blocks adrenaline, why does it raise cortisol?
Did it woken for you ?
Has anyone had any allergic reactions such as a dry itchy red rash? It is on the side effects list and suggests going to hospital. What is the reason behind that?
Congestive Heart Failure, 200 mg Propranolol, for 3 years, Hair falling out, swollen feet with purple skin on top of feet, Itching body, rashes on face and groin, weakness, laziness. Quit cold turkey last month, my hair stopped falling out, my feet stopped swelling, and purple was totally gone from the top of my feet, I actually washed and waxed my car, something I haven't been able to do in 3 years.
,
My doctor told me this drug would not cause any side effects at all. I’ve been on 60 mg ER propranolol for a year and half for migraines, and I feel like my doctor should have mentioned this. I’ve been thinking some of theses side effects were my own bodily problems and I’ve been v confused.
I have been on three months now for high bp and migraines. I have not liked the side effects, especially near constant leg cramps. My migraines did seem to ease up some but I still had six during this period. I am stopping them. I don't have any underlying heart issues so with the 60mgER I don't really see a good way to taper so I am just stopping but will monitor my bp and heart rate in the meantime and take one if things go sideways
@@SFCISME what ended up happening? Did you feel ok after stopping it?
@@hopesands2381 well the doc instead prescribed me the 20mg pills. I usually split them in half and do one in the morning and one around noon. I have not had a migraine all winter. Blood pressure is still relatively high this way however. That said I am not cramped up at night like I was the 60mg.
@The Ministry of Truth KMK I never completely stopped. Just way lower dose. I would think weaning off of only 20mg should be pretty easy tho now. I still have not had a migraine since November or December
@@SFCISME how are your migraines since this last comment?
i got it for tremors. if i take 20mg tablet twice a day(morning and evening) as prescribed, when i taper off should i take 1 a day?
I just want to be motivated
“Motivation” isn’t real. “Motivation” does not exist. Discipline is the only thing that is real. Discipline inspires motivation.
@@Kindlycallmecarebear no your completely wrong motivation is produced by dopamine if your brain produces low dopamine you have low motivation
@@vamsikrishna628 very true, but saratonin would also play a big role in how you make big/small decisions
@@socialmediaaccount4206 yah I just hate these ppl who say you don't need motivation u need only discipline you are disciplined only when you brain does not suffer from producing the right amount of chemicals I mean you never had a neurological brain problem doesn't mean others don't face it
I have plenty of motivation for watching RUclips videos, eating and shopping but none for exercise or doing my important tasks:(
Is propanol helpful for tremor??
These make me so tired and I forget a lot of things when I’ve had them
I was just prescribed this gor anxiety it will arrive tomorrow
Hope it will.help.with anxiety
Thank you very much doc for this video!!
This drug is good for panic attacks
Brilliant video. Thank you so much!
Is this life time medicine? Or we can stop medicine after taking 1 year
My daughter(18) was prescribed 80mg which she is suppose to take once a day for her severe headaches I really hope that its safe for her to take these and will actually treat her.
Don't take this beta blocker it has severe rebound effect the condition will get worse as the drug withdraws..
It os safe to use i use ot gor years now.2x per day 40mg.It thins the blood but it helps.
@@mrden5664 source?
@@iconicyello if it has such effects as he claimed, experts would know it by now because its a very famous drugs used by many people for many years already.
MR Den is right. Rebound can include fast heart rate, and an increase in blood pressure, headaches, and anxiety. The withdrawal period will usually last between 3 and 6 weeks depending how long you were on the drug for. You need to find the root cause for your daughters headaches. Even if the beta blocker works, you will just be masking the symptoms and not treating the problem.
My daughter has been going to several doctors because of her fainting problem. Instead of listening to her while she was saying she faint whenever she get to upset he started asking her about her glasses and does your head hurt around your temple she not really maybe sometime. He then stated shes having silent migraine and prescribed her this medicine and naproxen. She will not be taking this medicine! The heart doctor said its not enough oxygen getting to her brain and its causing her blood pressure to drop. So y would i give her something thats going to lower her blood pressure and it causes fainted smh.
I got put on it for the same reasons and still haven’t taken it. I’m too nervous!
Very insightful video
I was prescribed with this medication for migraines and it makes my throat and chest uncomfortable to breath. I think I might have asthma. I stopped and still feel discomfort in my chest :(
How r you now
@@manjulacm345 Apparently I have trigeminal nealaugia so propranolol didn’t work for me. I’m still in pain tho and couldn’t find any medication that works for me sadly.
I cannot watch or thought hearing vehicle sound. How to get rid
My new doc gave me this to slow down my heart rate, and work along with post partum thyroditis hyperthyroidism beta blockers. All I can say is I wish I’ve gotten this years of not decades ago. I lived with life long tachycardia. I can drive properly now. So grateful. I am cautious of the side effects, I’ll be making a video about this on my channel. I think it’s so important to tell about things that actually help us. Gain weight from this is real tho. It just is. My first month on this and it’s the best month in many many years. Grateful 🌸🌸🌸
What MG Amount do you take? And what is your heart rate while on this?
Plz how much gramme do u use? Thanks
I had a heart attack and 3 more stents…during a cold turkey antidepressant Effexor drop…I’m four months into this and experiencing extreme anxiety …these little Ativans work fast but not long…it’s not getting better…any advice?

How good is it in lowering BP? Better or less then Atenolol or Metoprolol??
I just try 40mg propranolol for anxiety. Fist 3 days I took 1 . After that I taking 3/day .my fist weed I could say that 20% it working on me .
I've taken these before and still have them, they make me feel a bit like a zombie at 10mg. It has put me off taking them. Is this something that passes once you get used to it as I couldn't keep feeling like that?
Any recommendations on how to reduce 80mg SR?
Im on 80mg for anxiety and my hairs falling out badly lost half of it gone really thin...been dermatologist and got TE im going to ask my Dr to change it to something else !
on 80mg for anxiety and having diarrhoea and weight loss every few days
so much for a “miracle drug”
Doctors gave me this for anxiety. I domt want to take it. My anxiety is social anxiety and severe stress in my body that causes chest pain. Im not sweating or having a racing heart. I have chronic stress. Doctors cant seem to understand why i dont want to take propranolol. They think generally and not for my individual situation. I tried to explain my life would be better if i could actually be around people and i know for that i need something that works like alcohol that actually relaxes me, like benzos or codeine
I’m on 80 mg what happens if I stop taking ? I stopped for three days felt better I actually got sleep
How do you feel after stopping this medicine? 👀
Helpful in LQTS. Doesn't stop anxiety from SCA.
I take this med 40mg twice a day
I take it as needed for my panic attacks. Amazing drug.
What symptoms does it help with?
Im suffering from hypochondria is a type of health anxiety....I'm taking propranolol 20mg along with other antidepressants....I'm feeling well.....my doctor said there is no side effect please continue medicines...I'm taking for year ....shall I continue this medicine ...anyone or doctors pls suggest...because I'm already in health anxiety.....
Watch out for low blood sugar symptoms If you are intended to continue to for long term.
My doctors prescribed Propranolol for my anxiety, but......she asked I take 1 tablet 4 times a day (10mg). After the black box warning, isn't what she is prescribing a bit too elevated?
No, that’s actually a fairly low dose
That's a very low dose.
I take 10mg / day and sometimes only 5mg when I wake up and does wonder's on my anxiety levels I don't even need to take more than 10mg to be honest seems that lasts all day
@@paulodrichard9635 recheck your dosage, that seems too low
I can take 40mg 3 times a day
Would this be a good drug to help me taper off my Xanax?
I’m taking propranolol for anxiety, I used to take 10mg in the morning and night but it wasn’t working now I take 40mg in the morning and night but I’ve started having hallucinations before I go to sleep and when I wake up it’s very real and scary...
This happen to me its scary I have a lot of wired feeling in the body
It can make sleep and sleep problems a lot worse, I wake up every night without fail with terrors and anxiety
I’m only on 10mg but funny enough I woke up derealisation the other morning and I haven’t had that for a couple of years
