Propranolol Any Help?

[Pepsi]

Evening everyone. Recently got started on propranolol for the shakes and really haven't seen any improvement, even by doubling the dose my doc gave me. Has any one had any good experience with this drug? Any good suggestions for controlling the shakes other than very generous doses of alcohol? Even the benzos don't help with the shakes.

Hey Pepsi, I used to be on proprananol, its what they call a Beta Blocker and is good for anxiety. Other than the shakes, have you noticed any other anxiety symptoms???It helped my step daughter, but not me.

I use an Alpha Blocker called Catapres, it helps with the fluttery heart and agitation of anxiety very well, but each to their own. They affect everyone different.

They might have to try another Beta blocker, I've rarely seen it prescribed for shakes, mostly for B/P control.
How much are you on? 80mg or so? Hmmm and if the benzos aren't helping with the shakes how much are you drinking in a week? Alcohol can have some serious side affects with some meds including reducing thier potancy.

This stuff is seriously helping me right now.

Old thread, but worth resuscitating because this drug has massively helped my anxiety; physical symptoms at least, the crippling part! Taking it as and when required, quite allot this week, but I feel I have some normality with regards to my innate reactions to everyday triggers. A bit of respite.

Can see this being my safety net, go to drug. Wish I had been offered this in 2011 before I smashed a ton of ganja into my body for a few years.
