I have GAD no bipolar, but I agree that sometimes when my anxiety is severe inderal can be very helpful. I take 20 mg as needed myself.
Hi, My GP prescribed 20mg. Inderal and said I can take more if needed. I started out taking 20mg (10mg twice/day), but found I was awfully...I'm not sure of exactly the feeling...kind-of lightheaded and "flat" feeling. So I've been taking 10mg and it has helped my anxiety more than anything I've ever tried in my life without causing any bad mood issues. I wish someone would have prescribed Inderal decades ago...I might have avoided taking the 20-plus medications I've tried for severe anxiety/agitation.

I'm thinking of trying 15mg/day of the Inderal to see if I can lower the anxious feeling even more, but not have quit the "flat" feeling.
