I really want to get off propranolol but I can't seem to do it without getting horrible withdrawal symptoms like racing heart, sweats, dizziness and breathlessness! Has anyone successfully got off it and if so how did you do it? I have tried tapering my dose I have went from 120mg per day down to 10/20mg a day but this last hurdle is messing with me! Any advice please!!

    How long have you been taking them for and how fast did you cut down the daily dosage?

    I want to try 10 mg of it, but my bp runs as low as 95/75 and I'm afraid it might get too low. My heart palpitations are bad everyday. Even when I'm anxious my bp only gets to 110/75.

    Have you tried adding magnesium? Have your magnesium and potassium checked.
