- Propranolol for migraine and public speaking is discussed. Also propranolol side effects, dosage 10 mg, 20 mg, 40 mg and others.
In addition, talk about how long it take propranolol to start working.
I took it today for the first time before a work meeting. I didn’t have to get up and talk, but I seriously ran the meeting. In most cases I would just sit there silent. Made me comfortable and able to freely speak my mind without fear of a shaky voice or other anxiety symptoms. So far so…great!
What's the dosage you're taking ?
@@kararalmousawi1546 5mg. I have a prescription for 10mg, but that dosage makes me a little groggy so I take half a pill and that does the trick.
@@kararalmousawi1546depends of the person. 10 to 40 mg usually works. I’m a bigger guy so I take 40mg for large meetings and 120mg for presentations/public speaking, usually takes 2hours to take effect.
I would not recommend taking everyday due to possible fatigue and other side effects mentioned in the comments. I usually take it once a week because I’m a manager and required to host team meetings.
My main reason for trying it is because my voice freezes up alot when I get nervous.
How did it go?
I'm taking a 10m for anxiety and blood pressure. Its been 3mos now, and its helping me. I work in transportation and I get high anxiety about driving in the winter months..so my blood pressure was up!! I didn't know what was going on and its been a few years!! Now, I'm getting it in control. Thanks for this information!!
SIR,
Any sexual dysfunction from this Med?
Howmany months did u use. And is it relief good. Is it repeated later
Ok... I quit taking it 2 mos ago. It was causing acid reflux...no sexual desire... but that could be from just non interest due to stress from my job
@@mist0 yep...no sex since covid started...but I don't think the lack of desire is from the medication 😕 🤔🤔🤔
Excellant infomation
Quite informative.
I'll certainly try this. I have been long searching for a remedy for this sudden nervousness I feel whenever im in public. It roused my concern specially on public occasions or meetings that trigger hand tremors and nervousness. Im thankful I've watched this videos and Propranolol - i think this'll change my wind ❤.
Hello thanks for info im on these 3 times a day 40mg along with few other medications could you ad any info on what meds you cant take with propranolol plz as on hrt n omemperozle n depression tabs n codeine phosphate paracetmol n folic acid any help advice would be very helofull thanks
Does any had problem with lower blood sugar after taking propanolol for anxiety and BP
In the 60 ER are there any studies on how much is released or maintain in blood stream.
In comparison to tablets that peaks with an hour and declines
I take it everyday and it really has made my problems 10 times better. I wonder what it’s made of.

I have propranolol for anxiety, 1 coffee triggers panic attacks with rapid rhythm (150-187bpm). It's safe to take caffeine with propranolol ?
Caffeine reduces the effects of propranolol so you could consume coffee but it just diminishes the effects of the propranolol
Hey I have a question,I’m healthy 20 year old guy who has a performance in 1 month in front of 100 people,wanted to ask if it’s ok if I take 1 pill of propranolol just for that day even know I’m not going to take it till maybe another month or 2.I’m not proscribed by a doctor but a friend told me he can give me 1 pill if I want just for that performance can it kill me if I take it once a month?20mg?
One pill 40mg is the same like 4 pills 10mg?
Its effects and side effects if one have erectile dysfunction by nervousness and anxiety ? ?
I've been prescribed these as my heart suddenly starts beating like I've been running. I am under pressure as I'm in emdr therapy and my daughter and two young grandchildren have had to move in with me due to domestic violence. My hearts breaks for my grandsons, they're so confused and traumatized by all they've seen.
I'm scared to try these tablets. I think if my heart suddenly goes again I'll take one but I don't want to take them 4 times a day as the majority of the time my hearts beating normally. It's horrible being scared. I've lost so much faith in the pharmaceutical industry.
Thanks for a helpful video. Good luck people.
i have been prescribed 20mg tablets take 2x a day(morning / evening). i have psoriasis so this is concerning to me. i didnt have a flare up but i've only been on the meds for a week and a half. I was prescribed this drug for tremors. Kinda worried now.

Im taking 80mg ER for migraines…is anyone experiencing mild to severe stomach pain/cramping several hours into taking this medication? It’s like clockwork I take it before bed then when I wake up the next day I’m having stomach pain/cramping that makes me want to go to the restroom. Then after about 30 min it subsides and I’m fine the rest of the day.
Is propranolol helpful in the treatment of akathisia?
Main physical side effect for me is extreme mucus and thic mucus, its always stuck and annoying, I caugh a lot, often its hard to make a deepv yawn, its like I cant expand my lungs to full capacity. Other side effect is nightmares, I already had nightmares from zyrtect but its worse with inderal. And anither, might have personality change, I feel violent. Im afraid Ill hurt someone.

How long does 10 mg propranolol last + could you take it with Alprazolam
10-20 only lasts about 2-3 hours, I believe my dr said
do benzodiazepines have to be prescribed with another medication? and if so what class of drugs?
What about agranulocytosis as a side effect???
I stopped suddenly 2 days ago after 2 and a half weeks on 80 mg a day , 2x 40mg, and cut down to 20mg x2 times a day the final 3 days, is this ok? I am also on Clarithromycin and felt some chest pains when taking both. More like a central chest burning pain as well as bones around the chest. Feeling slightly better but waking up with what feels like heart flutters, like my heart/chest is shaking, for around 5 mins before calming down. I'm happy to continue stopping them abruptly as I was taking them for chest discomfort and headaches/sinus issues originally however the clarithromycin seems to be doing a better job. I suffer from sinus problems, dizziness , nausea etc, for 8 months now. Please let me know if it's ok for me to cut off completely as I'm going onto my 3rd day of abruptly stopping and also if it's ok for me to continue with my clarithromycin. Thanks
S HQ
He’s not answering any questions!
No,its not ok to stop this medicine suddenly,its habit forming..
I hope you’re doing ok!
Hi,have you stopped after this msg..or still using the medication.Plz reply me
@@taghreedrulia5168 it's non-narcotic. The reason you don't want to stop taking it abruptly, is because it can cause heart and blood pressure fluctuations from an increased number of beta receptors acting
I just started taken this propranolol 40mg.and i think my migraine pain has gone down
It mad me feel crazy as hell!
Is this good to heart? Any side effects from 10 mg twice
Hi I take 10mg of these. When I want to stop taking them how do I do it? Will I get bad side effects?
I'm trying to figure that out myself. I'm told to be careful when I stop.
Danny B stewart maybe ask your local pharmacist for advice on how to stop. Hope that helps
It's ok to stop it's not a high dosage
Kawaii Neko
Is it extended release or immediate release??
And how long have you been taking it?
DanielRosen
Hi
Be careful DON’T cut the pill
You CAN’T cut extended release pills..
Have you doctor prescribe lower dose for you and decrease it slowly
Sir.. can I take this proponolol even sometimes I have heart chest?
If your having any chest pain, please go to the nearest ER. Chest pain and shortness of breath needs to be addressed ASAP.
Is depression towards the come down of medication sometimes present?
Yes
does this cause weight gain
I took Propanolol 20mg once a day for two months, it was causing increased anxiety for me, so I weaned myself off, by going to 10mg for 6 days (not sure if this was a long enough time for this dose), about 4 days after i started getting symptoms of withdrawal. I check for the withdrawal symptoms and what I was experiencing wasn't on there. I've been going through random breakdowns, getting severely upset for no reason, this lasted for about 6 days, after that, anxiety increased, with intrusive thoughts being amplified, also confusion, and this has been continuing for the last few days. It's been 13 days since i last took a 10mg a day, 10th day of withdrawal symptoms. Again, not sure if these are common withdrawal symptoms.
Side note, my body is really sensitive to medicine.
i took just 1 tablet of 10 mg last 4 days ago and experiencing the exactly same things. Tirednesss, weakness, dizziness, Anxiety, nightmares, mental breakdown, muscle cramps at night, sleeping disorders. Now am just praying when this symptoms will go away but Alhamdulillah improving day by day by the grace of almighty Allah.
There is no withdrawal, it's non-narcotic. If you abruptly stop taking it, you can however experience uncomfortable symptoms of an increased number of beta receptors acting.
@@rashedmonjurchowdhury5293 had the same thing happen, except anxiety attacks, very fast heart rate, dizziness, ringing in ears, SOB, tremors, etc. Had to go to the hospital. Couldn’t get my 20mg once a day refilled and literally made me feel like I was having panic attacks and heart problems for days. This actually just happened and am still recovering I got it refilled literally last night
How are you now?
Sounds like you need a different anxiety medication altogether! Check with your doctor.
Is this drug ototoxic? It is not stated but there are lots of people suffering from hearing loss and tinnitus. I’ve been prescribed for migraines and i’m so worried now.
I use it for migraines and I don’t have any issue with either. I do get bad abdominal cramping about 8hrs in for about half an hour then it subsides. It’s weird and worries me but I haven’t been on it but a month.
Can this medication caused pain in the throat?
Yes it does ,personally experienced it as one of my side effect ..I’ve never had pain in throat in my life ..but prop gave me one in my throat ..some times difficult to even swallow
I started taking the drug yesterday and the main side effect so far is i find it hard to fall asleep. Is this normal?
Yes
Are you able to tell me if Cannabis is something you would avoid taking this drug? I appreciate your channel and effort, thank you.
Take it for anxiety, every time I've smoked on it doesn't really change anything, a bit more sedated or tired. Good luck!
If your using it for migraine prevention and it drops your bp too much, you can eat some cannabis to bring it up to normal. Works for me. If i dont take both together i will pass out.
@@grassfedmilkmomma I smoke with it and my B/P Dropped as did my pulse rate down to 50

Does propranolol cause tinnitus ?
pardon
In April, I was suffering from waves of body chills - not sure if it was 'the' virus - with tightness in my chest and breathing difficulties. My doc put me on this drug for anxiety, though I am certain that my condition caused some anxiety - not the other way round. I still get a dull ache in my chest and some breathing issues. I'm now not sure whether the Propranolol is causing the breathlessness and as such, I'm a bit worried about stopping them. But I have been reducing the dosage and I'm now down to 5mg once a day.
Does anybody know if 5mg is an Ok dose to stop on or whether to do a week on 2.5mg?
Maybe hyperthyroid?
This is how I’m feeling! I also went to a thyroid doctor to get checked out and I did labs everything came back fine so I’m pretty sure it’s anxiety!
It's the anxiety bro,trust you doctor 👍
Don’t stop taking this abruptly. Put me in the hospital when I couldn’t get it refilled. Caused tachycardia
@@AaronBuzz03 May I know sir if how much dose you take before you stop?
Does it make you lose taste and smell
You had covid19...
I had lost my smell and taste and also with few other cold symptoms during March when I was taking this medicine.
I had the antibody test recently and said I didn’t have it.
So I can only blame it on this side effects or it has been to long to detect the antigens
I have heard from several that this can be a side effect.
My first time I took one pill an hour before bed, got drowsy and thought ok good nights sleep :) Laid in bed thinking I wasn't breathing right, very shallow and scared me into anxiety lol (opposite of intended purpose). Had to get up just to jump start my breathing I felt, finally went back to bed fell asleep then woke up with crazy view of my room...my alarm clock digits looked 3 times bigger than normal...took a minute to re calibrate my reality to normal. I am afraid to take it again felt shallow breaths the next day also but next day I was fine, I wonder if it was doing what it needed to do or is it not good. Might try again tonight...my wife says it is all in my head, she may be right.
Yeah, I’ve had similar effects. I hate this medication.
Been taking it 2 months now, I am ok with it after the initial experience. I do think its helping with my hypertension. No more side effects except a few behavior patterns, I am calmer now I guess.
How many mg did you take before you had this experience? Have the medication in my possession but am reluctant to take it as I prefer holistic approaches.
Migraine prevention 😳😩 It always give me a strong headache later. Maybe I’m taking a higher dosage.
IT MADE ME GT MY FIRST MIGRAINE LMAO

Is it possible to cut a 40mg tablet in 4 10mg peaces?
Yes, the non-extended release tablets can be cut. A pill spliter may help.
gridvid ofcourse it’s possible !
i take 3 pills of 10mg a day
hi i have these but i like to have a drink some weekends is it safe to drink alcohol if on these 10mg
It can result in low blood pressure, most people can have a few drinks without issues. Just be cautious
Pharmacist Tips ok thanks, also if i have one of these every time i’m anxious is it ok to do so every now and again or are you meant to take them daily if you start to have them
can i know if its okay to take this medicine while im pregnant
Omg no way should you take this whilst pregnant it can harm baby
NO NO NO NO NO!!!
I've got a ton of it from 2011 when my dad died. I'm thinking of taking them to help me. 12 years later. Haha prescription meds don't go off though. They just tell you they do so they can make more money out of you.
Medications do expire though so be careful :)
I've been two days into using this medication for High BP and Anxiety, and It's working almost immediately. (60mg twice a day) I was having blood pressures of 150/80 and 146/92 etc.. Now it's back to 120/80 and similar blood pressures. My concern with it though is the 50BPM I sometimes drop to. Will this medication attempt to lower my heart rate even lower to dangerous levels that would lead to the heart stop beating?? Like I said, I'm only two days into this stuff.
Hi
how is it now plz tell me
How are you doing now on the medication?
Evil crap. Shape up. Get off medication. You will living longer and better
I take 50 mg Metoprolol but it doesnt lower my BP still 150 / 100!, thinking of switching to Propranolol
Does this medication cause sleep insomnia
It does cause lucid dreams and you may wake up more frequently because of it. I woke myself up yelling "no! No!" And im hanging off my bed.
@@grassfedmilkmomma what is your dose?
Ever since I started taking this med (60 mg ER) I’ve had horrible constipation (and hemorrhoids as a result). Wondering if it’s the propranolol or coincidence.... anyone else have this?
yes but dont know why . ask a doctor ?
Yes
Yes
My Dr. Said just take only on the days I need it...anyone else get these orders?
Yep
Doctors will tell you that then make sure that you're Taking It. Other than that was usually recommended this one in the daytime that one before bed
The drug ia great but i had awful side effects for the first 2 weeks of using it. Painful stomach cramps and diarrhea.
Can I take it in pregnancy time?
Talk to doctor's . Don't want to cause a miscarriage and won't be sure if was medicine or natural causes . Sorry sound bit blunt
Sir,it is used as a prophylactic agent for migraine,then how can headache be a sideeffect?
I don't understand as well
That's the side effect of it being man made lol
😂 i noticed that too and take it for migraines which I would get atleast 3/wk but now I have only had maybe 3 for the month. Just started it a month ago but am seeing the diff. Only issue is gastrointestinal issue … I always get stomach pain/cramping about 8ish hrs I after dose that last about half an hour then subside. It’s starting to concern me bc it’s everyday.
Does it feel like xannax? Does it get you high or make your feel good?
it makes you numb , it feelz good after having a panick attack .
Different than Xanax. Xanax makes me more relaxed and maybe tired if I take too much. This just made me feel totally comfortable. In work meetings I always felt a bit of unease. I took it today and spoke freely. Felt comfortable. No feelings of anxiety. Also met with a few customer and no little spike of adrenaline that I wouldn’t normally get. Was just able to be myself. Xanax helps when I’m having anxiety or can’t sleep. But I feel a little dumb on it. I have no mental fogginess with propranolol. I’d say the only side effect I had was a little tiredness when trying to physically push myself. Just a different feeling altogether than Xanax.

I smoke a lot of cannabis and I am now supposed to be takking this do I have to stop
Did you stop?
No lol smoke 💨up
I was wondering the same thing haha
Cannabis raises blood pressure. I find I'm in more desperate need of propranolol if I've smoked.
80mg slow release gives me really bad insomnia
80 mg is too much start with 10 mg or 20 mg
Is 80mg too much for anxiety?
Anything lower doesn’t help. :/

Is it good for sexual performance anxiety....???
Arefin Rasal nope it actually causes erectile dysfunction
In most sexually healthy individuals beta blockers should not cause eretile dysfunction or could have minor influence. Whether they could be helpful or not for sexual performance also depends on the individual. Also for performance anxiety only non-selective beta blockers should be used. Medications like Viagra may also help. But for healthy individuals both medications should be started at low doses and increase if necessary and used occasionally.
No it lowers your blood pressure so it's not really good for that you might want to try cocaine or oysters

If you have 80 mg do not smoke while using this medicine
Why?
Because these meds are designed to make your heart beats slow like it feel too relaxed . and you know weed speeds your heart rate up which can cause heart failure
