its not the propanolol that im takeing for the tremours, i havent started yet, i was prescribed them, but while im cutting down on my alcohol intake fastly the tremours are obviously getting worse and i was prescribed them for this reason, mostly anxiety just didnt tell my doctor about my drinking problem. Doing really well with cutting down till i stop forever, but scared of any side affects if i start them whilst still drinking.

Hello jackie211. The propranolol is not going to make the alcohol leave your body any quicker. Its not an aid to cleaning out your system. Once the alcohol has left your body, you are then clean. You won't be if you of course were to take another drink of whatever alcohol, you happen to be consuming.(Wine,Gin beer etc etc) Proprandol will eliviate the tremors that you're having. Best wishes and good luck,. and you might want to tell your doctor, she/he can offer you some advice, that might be very helpfull.

Hi jackie211. I understand now. You are still drinking. Though cutting back. Its not recommened that if you drink alcohol, to take propranolol. It can be very dangerous. At the top of this page is a search engine. Just enter propranolol. This will take you to another page, once there, you will see drug inteactions, click on that, then enter alcohol, and you can read about how the two interact. The very best of wishes, and I hope that you might stop drinking without to much more discomfort.
