Propranolol
Posted , 5 users are following.
I've been prescribed some Propranolol by my doctor, it says to take 1 twice a day but I feel a littl weird taking one twice a day. Is it okay? I know my doctor told me to but It says not to take it if my heart rate is slow, I'm assuming that means if I've been lazing about and it is really slow, I'm just teribbly frightened that it will slow my heart rate down to a complete stop and I will die. I donlt really know when my heartbeatis slow or at normal speed It's probably me overreacting but I need some reassurance. If i take 2 of these a day, will I be okay? My doctor said to take them before I feel I'm going to have a panic attack but I was hoping I could get into a routine of taking them and I have panic attacks regularly and I am very forgetful and under pressure I will not think to take them before a panic attack. I just want to know that if I do take 2 a day, will I be alright? Also when should I take them, I was going to take one in the morning before school and one throughout the day

I've been prescribed propananol as well to take 1 twice daily but I have yet to take them.
Mainly because of my heart and also because my attacks come on quickly and I don't know how long it will take the tablet to have an effect.
Plus as I have several attacks a day I don't know how long they'll last and I don't want to have to rely on them.
I've been prescribed other meds as well.

I took propranolol 10mg which my doctor told me was a piddly little dose, 3 times a day. The doc told me that they only stay in your system for 2-3 hours so perfectly ok to take regularly. Also 10mg is tiny dose, I was perfectly fine whilst taking them. They are widely used so don't worry, take them as your doc has prescribed and enjoy the benefits. xx
