    Hi Amy05881,

    I was put on propranalol for an irregular heart beat.  At the same time, my anxiety was really bad and antidepressants had only made the panic problem worse.  When I started the propranalol, my anxiety simply vanished!  I was in shock for a long time and finally asked the dr about it.  She told me that this med can also be used for anxiety - and then I was a bit irritated that it hadn't been prescribed before!  I have been taking this medication for about 10 years and the anxiety is mostly gone.  Only during extreme moments do I feel the anxiety creep back, but I have managed to contain it.  Best wishes for this medication to work well for you.

    Amy, just keep pushing forward.  It may take a while for all of the other meds you tried to clear from your system.  And remember, the dosage of propranalol can be adjusted depending on when you need it most.
