You can search the forum for discussion on propranolol, and one thread in the information section already covers it:

Definitely get the shakes when I get really anxious. Starts at my core and moves into my legs, which were doing a nice shake-dance last night. I just sat up in bed and let them do their thing.

Ok i read the thread that Anthony put up on the medication and i thought i would give you whats going on with me.

I never linked it to any medication until now, i blamed the PTSD, but i feel NO FEAR, no matter what the situation, i went to Movieworld, a themepark here in Australia, went on all the rides, was going upside down all around, being dropped from about 5 stories to the ground, and i felt NOTHING, i can never feel fear, with horse riding, i can be is really hairy situations, where any normal person would have at LEAST a heart flutter, but no, not me, i get nothing...no this could lead some ppl to be adrenalin seeking junkies, and i have to admit, had i had the money id be sky diving and what not to try and feel normal again because i DO feel like a freak but im not on the medication for PTSD im on it for my heart and for the shakes so there is nothing i can do about it.

Just thought id let you know my experiences....ive been on the meds for about a year or so now.

Excellent to hear experience MG... thank you for sharing. Experience is what often makes the best knowledge for others to review. I do love Movie World myself also...

I tremble horribly when I'm flashing............also when heavily triggered. Meds don't seem to help it..........but I'm relatively safe now and not being triggered constantly, last time I flashed was about a month ago. So I'm not going to take a med to stop that.............

Yer i get the shakes, sometimes they get so bad that i jump constantly for hours. I look like i've got terets syndrome but i've not .. they are both mostly started after i've had flashbacks or get really anxious about something but they don't stop easliy because i get embarresed about them, which makes them worse. It's like a vicious circle :mad:
