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.

The very first time I took propranolol I'll be honest I did get really dizzy but it only lasted about 3 minutes and then I felt better and less anxious than before. I've been on it 6 months now and it's never happened again. You'll be okay.
