Hey y'all! I had been taking Propranolol for almost 3 years and decided to stop taking it, after consulting with my GP, because it was causing me depression and crying spells. I've been off the propranolol for about 5 days now and I'm still experiencing tachycardia and also a loss of appetite - which i was also experiencing while depressed. I was hoping my appetite would return by now, but it hasn't. Has anyone else experienced tachycardia and loss of appetite as a result of stopping propranolol? My doctor is telling me it sounds like anxiety, but I keep telling her that I don't feel anxious, just jittery. Any thoughts and anecdotes are appreciated.
