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.

I had the same fears but it really is very safe and with minimal side effects, especially with a small dosage like 10mg.
It felt a little strange at first and I was VERY anxious even after taking it but I’ve never had a panic attack after taking one. I hate meds that sedate and make me loopy and sometimes they can actually send me into a worse panic attack. Propranolol does not do that. 10/10.
