Any side effects like weight gain?
Any experience is appreciated.
Thanks.

I didn't notice any side effects at all when I took it. I didn't find it helpful but many people do. Be careful if you're asthmatic

I was prescribed Propranalol back in the 90s. It did nothing for anxiety and had no effect on my heart rate. Mine was still around 200bpm.
That's my experience.
This doesn't mean it won't help you though... people react differently to different meds.
