I take 40mg Propranolol 3 times a day, my doctor didn't give me set times to take my doses, just as needed.......only problem being is that I'm now waking up at stupid times in the morning, like right now its 4:20am ... I'm being woken up with panic attacks, that's the condition i take them for.......I have had to take 1 dose already but i know for a fact i will need my 3 doses today also....obviously I'm not going to take another 3 doses after I've had 1 already, but i wondered if anyone had any advice that could help as i feel these may not be the tablets for me as i suffer from multiple panic attacks per day, i.e 9+ panic attacks......this may sound stupid but i feel i need to take something as and when needed, not dose required because i always feel i need to take more, no matter how far i try space them apart.
I'm also on venlafaxine 37.5mg x2 per day also for my panic attacks.

i agree with you totally you have to learn how to deal with the anxity to keep it under control and not let it control you....i have found there is no magic cure it requires work from yourself...i thought i was alone in coming to that conclusion but it does seem to be the case anyone got any thoughts on this thanks x

I do feel the Propranolol are helping quite a bit, I've been taking them for almost a week now, and I'm not after a quick fix, just a way to get by day by day, i know this isn't going to be easy or quickly dealt with, I'm just tired of always being aware i only have 3 doses, it plays on my mind all the time, can i ask, is it possible to take 4 Propranolol or is it too dangerous?
many thanks

it is early day's give your precribed dose a chance...i have in the past took a extra propanol it had no affect and the next day i felt dreadful so much so i'd never do it again
by a quick fix i meant diazapram which calms you right down wears off too quick and your left back to square 1 and it's addictive most dr's won't prescribe it...give the propananol a c hance it really has transformed my life x

I'm just finding it hard to get to sleep on a night and stay asleep which is making me more tired during the day, not to mention making my depression and anxiety levels spike sue to the fact I'm not getting up until the afternoon due to waking up at 3am then managing to get back to sleep by 6am or 7am and oversleeping.
I know Propranolol is supposed to make you tired, and it does, but I'm now waking up with a panic attack, which I've never done before, then I'm having to take 1 of my Propranolol to calm me down leaving me one dose down during the day, I'm then having to take another Propranolol when i wake up again and the last dose early evening.
I just feel i could do with saving a dose for before i go to bed but obviously i cant overdose and take an extra one, but i cant help having to take one very early hours.
If i cant take the nytol then its back to the doctors, obviously I'm not going to put myself at risk taking something that's going to react with my other medication and set me back or hospitalise myself.
Any advice would be much welcomed.
Many thanks

You take 1 in the early hours because they are so mild.
Talk to your doctor about your sleep. I hate being panicky in the night.

The only advice i can give is go back to your dr if thats not possible as it's nearly the w/end ask your pharmasist esp with venta and nytol...i am on mitazapine 30mg for depression and i could not take calms with them you think it's herbal it will be fine....wrong....
I take my mit and propananol at bedtime and i do sleep mitz in a low dose is known to help sleep on the down side it can increase weight...google it be informed...there are paient forums on it also....good luck M x

c.b.t is good you may find groups run by m.i.n.d helpful with anixitey and sleep and overall well being
don't know if you can self reffer...camomile tea is good so is cutting out caffine after tea to aid sleep...but sometimes i have found no matter what i do sleep just doesn't happen not so much now i think my meds are the right combination...8 weeks ago my dr upped my mitazapine from 22.5mg to 30mg my sleep was disturbed at first then returned x
