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

Yes excellent point, you're doctor shouldn't be even prescribing it if you're asthmatic but not all doctors are thorough. That aside, I have taken propranolol for anxiety before and it was very effective for physical symptoms. my body is very sensitive to adrenaline surges and it's great for that. I only took it as needed and have not needed it in months.
If you participate in vigorous exercise, reduce or delay your dose if it's clouse to a workout. Because it slows the heartrate you may not be able to effectively exercise intensely. for light activity, a walk or such it should not be a problem
