Mood is fine. I just feel slowed down and relaxed. Not sedated per se, but just slow.

My pdoc's assistant never gave me specific instructions on how to take the propranolol, so I had to call the pharmacist to get advice. I mean, the instructions said "twice a day as needed," but that doesn't mean anything. I take Ritalin 3x a day, the equivalent of every 4 hours. Turns out that propranolol is NOT supposed to be taken within 8-12 hrs of your last dose. Thank god I asked.
My pdoc had me taking the propranolol three times a day.
