User Reviews for Propranolol

propranolol: I get situational panic attacks in high stress meetings or interviews - these started a few years ago. My doctor prescribed me 10mg of Propranolol to take 10-30 minutes before meetings, speeches, etc. This calms me down, stops me worrying about the possibility to have a panic attack, and makes me a much calmer person. Having a pill on me at all times in case the situation arises has given me such confidence that I won't have an attack now that I rarely get them anymore.

propranolol: I had severe anxiety and had difficulty, in training classes, at work until I started taking this medication. This medication has allowed me to stay calm through the most frustrating situations. It is an amazing treatment.

propranolol: Good for treating panic attacks and anxiety.

Inderal (propranolol): Started having panic attacks with anxiety about 6 months ago. Started taking Inderal 20 mg - once in the morning. Noticed significant improvement the first day. This drug has been awesome for me! Was also given Xanax at the same time but I only feel I need it occasionally.

propranolol: I was getting shaky hands, shaky voice, etc before and during presentations/high stress events. Even when I had solid material and was well rehearsed, it was like this physical symptom just kicked in and I couldn't control it. And it happened EVERY TIME. It was getting bad, to the point my boss even said something to me about it. When I discussed these anxiety symptoms with Doctor, she prescribed me 20mg and said to take 1/2 tablet to 1 tablet about an hour before event, as needed. Worked very well for me, this is what I needed. I haven't experienced any anxiety symptoms so I can focus on my material.

propranolol: I have been suffering from pretty bad anxiety when faced with meeting new people, going to a job interview, going on the streets. Everything from pounding heart, tense body, breath being tight, pressure on the chest, having a feeling of wanting to run away from normal situations. Today I took propranolol for the first time, and so far it seems to have killed this feeling totally. First it felt like it completely emotionally numbed me, but as the hours have gone by (about 4 hours now), its all good now. Still feeling relaxed but a bit lazy.

Inderal (propranolol): Controls the anxiety but side effect causes erectile dysfunction.

Inderal (propranolol): I have had anxiety a lot since high school and it has gotten worse in college. I have taken many different medicines for anxiety and this is by far the best fit for me. I didn't like how I had to take the other medicines everyday whether or not I felt anxious- this one was great for me because my doctor told me I could take it whenever I felt a little more anxiety than normal. I will take it in the morning if I wake up anxious and I have never had an anxiety attack or feelings of being anxious yet. I would highly suggest talking to your doctor about this medicine if anxiety is the issue.

Inderal (propranolol): I have struggled with public speaking my entire life. This is truly a miracle medicine for me. I like the fact that I do not have to take it everyday...only for specific events which are typically scheduled in advance. I would still prefer no medication but have been very happy with the results from Inderal.

propranolol: Fantastic, I have not observed any side-effects. I have had anxiety all my life in association with bipolar II. Propranolol helps me with performance anxiety such as giving presentations, or if I have a stressful job ahead of me it allows me to remain calm so that I can carry out the tasks.

propranolol: I am actually a physician (weird I know), and always had a problem with anxiety. At one point, it was truly affecting my life. I could cope and work, but like many of us, constantly had the fear of "panicking" or "losing control." It started to affect my work, so I actually became a patient and asked my doctor for some help. I've never had trouble dealing with the stress mentally, but the physical symptoms just drove me crazy and made the anxiety worse. I'd get shaky, warm, uncomfortable, etc., etc. On THE FIRST DAY I took 10mg, my life changed. Every single negative body symptom I experienced was gone. My confidence came back and honestly, I'm a better physician because of it. Simply amazing.

propranolol: It has changed my life. Absolutely can't live without it. I started taking 20mg 2 x daily and I had some side effects for the first 4 months like being tired and it slowed my sex drive down. Now I really don't have any side effects, they have disappeared. The doctor told me to just give it some time. I have been put on all kinds of antidepressants and they made me worse. Thanks to my wonderful doctor I can live a normal life now.

propranolol: There's no question, this is the medicine that stops performance anxiety. I was paralyzed with fear whenever I was asked to be in a wedding, play piano in church, speak in front of a group, you name it. Propranolol 20 mg is a miracle! A musician who played in a symphony told me almost all the musicians used it, so I gave it a try. I take it 1 hour before I need it, and it lasts 4-6 hrs. This is truly the gracious miracle that rescues all of us who struggle with irrational panic and exaggerated fears, beyond the normal "butterflies in the stomach." The symptoms of speedy heart, sweaty palms, choked up voice and red face simply do not manifest!

propranolol: Helped with social anxiety a great deal. This is a non selective block so won't hold down the pulse as much as atenolol but that's good for us runners/joggers who have to be very careful with beta blockers. This medicine is actually better than atenolol for tremors/tics one might get if you have social anxiety. I dose 20-30 mg and it helps a lot. A life saver for me.

propranolol: I used this before giving a speech at my brothers wedding along with small amount of alcohol. I gave a speech there that I had been worried about from the day he told me he was engaged (1 year prior). I wrote the speech months in advance and thought about it daily. I am a very outgoing person, but do have performance anxiety/public speaking anxiety pretty bad. I think I took 40mg prior to the speech. The alcohol did help as well, but I believe the propranolol was responsible. I gave a KILLER speech and everyone was laughing hysterically. I didn't feel one single ounce of anxiety, not even for a split second. The seconds leading up to the speech were also calm.

propranolol: Have suffered with performance anxiety and panic attacks for years. Most of the time I use diazepam (Valium) to calm me down, but at times when I need to use my brain eg. interviews, public speaking, etc. I use propranolol. 10-20mg one hour before any event stops any anxiety symptoms, very good and would recommend.

propranolol: I have been taking propranolol for the last 5 days along with 20mg of fluoxetine due to severe anxiety. My doctor told me to take it at night, but I missed last nights dose because I fell asleep, and woke up this morning with intense anxiety.

propranolol: I began having severe panic attacks when I was about 15 or 16 years old. There were a few times that I actually passed out from anxiety, and thought perhaps I had another condition, such as low blood pressure or sugar. Eventually, I realized I had anxiety but I thought the only option was an antidepressant or an anxiety medicine that I'd have to take everyday. I also didn't like the thought of having to take Valium or Xanax. A few months ago, at age 22, my newest doctor talked to me for 5 minutes, realized my issue and immediately put me on propranolol. This medicine is a miracle and I can swear by it enough. I use it when I need it and it 100% works. I had a job interview today that I nailed. I love Propranolol.

propranolol: I have a fear of public speaking and I was required to give a 10-15 minute presentation in a college course. I took 2 10mg tablets about 30 minutes before and the physical symptoms were completely gone. I was focused and I spoke very calmly during the presentation unlike I usually do which is that I speak very fast because I am so nervous and my heart is beating so fast. I could not hear my heart beat at all and I felt completely in control of the situation. My voice barely trembled at all. It is an excellent medicine for performance anxiety and public speaking anxiety and I will continue to take this for future performance situations like job interviews.

propranolol: I have been on this for nearly 5 years now and it has worked wonders for me. I am taking the modified release capsules 80mg a day, I was on 160mg but wanted to cut down a bit. Anyway I feel great. Have not been so calm in ages and has made me more calm and confident. I strongly recommend.

propranolol: I have been taking 10-20 mg of Propranolol for anxiety and racing heart/high blood pressure. It works well, but is a short acting medicine. I take it twice a day and it works well in combination with my other anti-anxiety medicines.
