Any thoughts? Advice?
I’ve been taking propranolol for about 14 years. I’m on it for the physical side effects of anxiety. I was taking it 3 times a day. I’m now supposed to take it twice a day but I only take it once a day in the afternoon and I’ve been fine with the one dose a day. I’m on 20mil. I don’t feel much of a difference being on it. It has no side effects good or bad. In 2016 I think, my stupid Pdoc tried taking me off it for who knows why. But my heart rate and blood pressure shot way up and I had to go immediately back on it.

My current Pdoc never even mentions it.
