I get propranolol as a prn for the physical effects of anxiety. I find it really helps me.
But I think my blood pressure is low. I lifted a bulky (but not heavy) box an hour ago and have super dizzy since

Oh man you totally shouldn’t take it if you have asthma. Can cause a major attack. Really asking about asthma is the first thing doctors are supposed to do when dispensing beta blockers

Yeah im not going to take any. Too scared of it making my asthma flare up. Sucks because my biggest complaint of my anxiety is the physical symptoms it gives me.

Yeah that is a shame. This med has helped me more than Valium did tbh. My body really freaks out when anxious and this med really helps

Glad it helps you. Valium and other benzos are pretty effective, but physical dependency and withdrawal is terrible with them. My doctor doesnt like giving them out, she still does, but only gives me a small amount.

I was prescribed the same med for the shakiness and I got better.
On the down side I get dizzy at the gym, but yeah no shakiness no more

I didn’t find it effective for me. Glad it works for you though. Made me really sleepy though.
