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 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.

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 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.

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: 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.
