How long does it take for Propanolol to take effect?

Hi, I've just been prescribed propanolol for my social anxiety disorder. I'm taking one 10mg pill 3 times a day. Can anyone tell me how long it normally takes for this to take effect?

    Hi Stuart,

    I was on the same dosage to begin with. I noticed a change in my anxiety within a week. After two weeks I felt calmer, more relaxed. I'm guessing you will have been asked to go back to your doctor to monitor how you are doing. If it has little effect, you may need a higher dosage
