REPORT

I just came off propranolol of 10mg for 3 months only it was destroying my life, it ruined my eyes they became bloodshot and red (still), I was so dizzy on it, wanted to vomit a lot, made all my muscle tight and spaz at times, it was an absolute nightmare. I couldn't gradually come off of it because I was having an allegry with it. The side effects I had just off of that for 2 days was racing heart, increase BP, and then followed by some shakes. The racing heart and BP spike were like random intervals. I would gradually come off from 80 mg because it can really harm you potential heart attack or stroke. It's different for everyone, but DO NOT just quit it. Talk to your doctor for a safe healthy plan.

No it is not safe to just stop. I'm taking propranolol (20mg x 3 daily) also for Hyperthyroidism and was told a week ago to just stop taking it after my doc analyzed my blood labs. (seems I slipped to Hypo side). Now I feel like complete garbage -- dizziness, light headed, mild headaches, nausea, anxiety, mood swings that landed me in an urgent care clinic for tests. Was unaware that it was the prop that caused this until reading messages here. (thought it was methimazole that I also reduced) I didn't realize just how powerful this medication is.

I took 80mg ER for about 2 years and didn't have much trouble coming off of the drug. i got a prescription for the IR 20 mg tablets and for the first week i took 60 mg a day, so 3 20 mg tablets a day (morning, afternoon, and evening). The next week i cut all the pills in half and did the same routine only with 10 mg tablets. i did the for about 4-5 days and then stopped. i would only take more propranolol if i felt like i was having withdrawal issues. Now its been a little over a week since I've taken any, and feel fine. The doctor actually gave me a slightly different way to wean off of them, but took the advice of a pharmacist (my sister) instead. The pharmacist's way was much faster. i should note I'm only a 29 year old male, and if i were older i may have had to wean off slower?

I take 20mg three times aday for macula edema due to bleed in my left eye.Having distorted vision is horrific and causes terrible stress particularly when you can't see your work colleagues face,luckily my vision improves by about 3pm.each day.Recently I ran out of propranolol across a weekend and went to bed on the Sunday night with dreadful chest pain in the centre and pretty much all day on the Monday but not as severe, luckily got some more tabs and now all seems well

guys Ive been on propranolol for 6 months and gained like 30 pounds!! i was like wtf so i worked out for 2 months and still i was a total fat a$$ with no results. so i cut it cold turkey but i experienced sweating and shakes from withdrawl. what seems to help me cut it off fast without having withdrawl was simply taking on tablet at night so i can sleep.i was taking three a day now down to one a day at night. and then il only take half a night. honestly i rather have a little anxiety than be a fat a$$

I have been on Propranolol 160mg for 15 years and as a result of a recent chest infection the doctor recommended I come off the beta blockers - I took them for cluster headaches and they have been wonderful. So, I decided to just give them up and here I am three weeks later with mild chest pains (I notice discomfort in my chest but it is not painful) but I am a bit shaky. The main issue I have noticed is my ability to write - my handwriting is very scruffy at the moment and I do not seem to be able to control it. Also, I find if I do something energetic I get a racing in my heart for 30 seconds afterwards. Hope this helps. As an FYI, I'm male and 48 years of age.

I have experienced exactly what you described. I would never have been able to go that long without a pill. I am now trying to come off of 60 mg a day after approximately 40 years on it. The doctor said just quit taking it and I suffered the feeling of someone pressing on my chest, shortness of breath, weakness, increased heart palpitations and feelings of doom. When I told him that once I couldn't find my medication, I suffered these symptoms, he really didn't believe me, I called him when they started and he sighed and said take them. I don't really want to be on such a large dose because it messes with your lungs. I have asthma and I think since I've gotten older, the effects of the medication on my lungs are worse.

Hello. How do you feel now? I am only on 10mg of propranolol per day and I am wanting to come off as it lowers my energy and impacts my ability to sleep. I hope you feel well. I would like to withdraw very slowly because I HATE HEART PALPITATIONS. Thank you!
