Anxiety and Propranolol Withdrawal - How long does it last?

Can anyone advise?

I was prescribed propranolol in Feb 40mg once a day. I took for approx 7 weeks and decided to stop as I realised it was slowing my heart rate too much in that I was out of breath just going upstairs. I was completely fine for two weeks and then bang, big anxiety/panic attacks, shaking, thirsty, heart racing, just awful. Bloods and ECG all fine. Reluctant to ask the Docs to try something different but fed up of this coming on every morning and randomly during the day. My doc said it shouldn't be withdrawal after this long but I read loads of threads where people are still struggling after 2/3 weeks. My question is how long did people experience side effects from withdrawal and after 2 weeks could it still be withdrawal?

Thanks
