I have been taking 160 propananol for a long time for anxiety and hogh blood pressure. The Dr has told me to half the dose as she thinks it is making me very tired. I am afraid of doing this although I have to as she has only prescribed the half dose. In hosptial a while back for something else the Specialist said this was an ' old fashioned ' drug.
