The doctor in A&E prescribed me 10mg twice a day. I’ve not taken it yet because the doctor said to take it when I start to feel a bit better as I still feel a bit dizzy and they can make me more dizzy.
Is this medication good? For anxiety and panic attacks? also does this medication change your personality? I’m a bit scared to take it as I suffer with anxiety.
propranolol is very good for anxiety... you should take propranolol at morning because it is causes insomnia.
Again, you are telling this member to take it at a certain time (are you a Dr,,, because the bottom line is that you are prescribing!!! ) and not to follow his/her Dr.´s prescribing regimen.
The side effects of any medication are potential side effects depending on the metabolism of the individual he/she may or may not experience possible side effect, everyone reacts differently to medications, benefits, possible risks, potential side effects and interactions!
Common potential side effects of this medication, among many, are somnolence, sleep disturbance/disorders and may affect 1% to 10% of people taking this medication.
I gave the right advice.
Hi, Wiktoria!
It won't change your personality because it works on the body... slowing heart rate and controlling sweating, stuttering, difficulty breathing, tremors, etc. In other words it helps the symptoms of the anxiety/panic but not the anxiety/panic itself.
Don't let your anxiety do the talking for you! Give it a try...
Hello
Thank you for answering my question, I took one tablet hopefully it will help me.
Great question. I also take 10mg twice a day. It’s been a absolute godsend for me. 20mg a day is very low dose. The only side effects I have at this dose are no anxiety, which is a big win! We are all different, and if you’re really nervous, split a 10mg and start with 5mg two times a day. I hope this helps, good luck to you!
That’s great! I actually took 10mg now hopefully it will work for me too. I’m always so nervous to take new medications but hopefully this one will be ok for me as I tired so many things for anxiety and nothing helps.
Ps thanks for your answer.
