It's been living hell getting off this horrible med. I'm down to a half of a 10mg pill per day will stop any day now. So horrible my heart rate has gotten so high I'm always short of breath and tired never was I like this before the med.

chest pain can be a side effect of coming off the propranolol too quickly - you should get worked up by a cardiologist IMHO (I'm a doc)

Really. Propranalol for anxiety? What's the point? My doctor told me it's a beta-blocker and might help with my RLS. It did, slightly.

Good Morning, I take B-50 from holland and barrett. It includes all the b vitamins which are the main vitamins for depression and is the best thing in the world for restless leg also, I've been using for years and years, it is the main one to use daily you have to be very careful which ones you use every day for the nervous systym this is the best.
Kind Regards Louise Johnson

The only way I can answer you is through my own experience. I took it for my restless leg syndrome. I went off it "cold turkey." Never noticed anything. It did help the RLS, but there were no cold turkey side effects for me.

Yes! I was put on propanolol for migraines, but could not handle the side effects. (excessive sweating, extreme fatigue, weight gain, feeling faint) You need to wean off. Each time I lowered my dose, I had a horrible migraine.

Personally, I took it for a couple years, I think I was taking 40mg daily. I was taking it for RLS. I never felt anything from it and my doctor never felt the need to wean me off it. It's a beta-blocker. A lot of people take it to overcome fear of public speaking although it wouldn't have worked for me in that regard.

I can't imagine using it for anxiety as someone else expressed. I take an anti-anxiety for that. Curious, what was the reason for you taking it?

I take 80 mg of propranolol every day for thyroid symptoms. The tiredness, fatigue and low moods could be side effects so my go told me to take a break from them for a month. Is it safe just to stop, she never mentioned weaning off but just to stop. Not sure now what to do.

I am quite weary about coming off Propranolol. The first time I was prescribed them in 2013. I was only on them for 5 months. This is my second time on them, and it's been just over a year. I'm worried about the withdrawal, side effects, ect... I thought maybe these tablets are the root of my tiredness? I'm not even Depressed but I'm acting like I am. I don't even have the energy or strength to get out of bed or wash myself. All I am doing is sleeping aswell as feeling constantly tired. Please help!

I was put on the same meds for anxiety in October with ramipril for high bp...it now turns out I don't have high bp so consultant stopped my ramipril...everyday I feel lightheaded and unwell. .am now assuming it's the propranolol. ..so I've decided to stop taking it...I'm going back to the cardiologist rather than my gp to find the best way to do this....
