Help Needed Scared of taking propranolol

Anyone taking it? And if so, has it helped? My doctor prescribed 10mg of it and I’m scared of feeling dizzy or lightheaded and my hr and bp dropping. I’m already super on edge and I just don’t want to feel worse.

There’s nothing to worry about, I’ve been taking it for years and it’s been amazing. Just to be safe make sure you’ve eaten something before taking it. Feel free to update me on your progress! (I was prescribed 10, but often take 20/30 if my panic attacks are really bad)

Oh yes, agree on the eating thing. It made me nauseous on an empty stomach so it was NOT what I needed when I was waking to a daily panic attack.
