I have just started an increased dose of medication for propannalol (sp?)
I am experiencing some of the side effects, but had previously been taking lower doses (more regulary).

I have been taking propanalol since Jan, but still experience side effects, is this normal?

Im taking itm for anxiety so, sadly some of the side effects only make it worse (the anxiety) Im trying to be rational about it, so thanks in advance for any help, or advice.

Bad circulation?

Where can I get an overseas face lift safely? I am based in the UK.

What side effects are you suffering from? I used to get dizzy when I took propanalol if I stood up quickly or was standing for long periods of time.

Propanalol for anxiety?
I can think of better drugs.
If your BP is normal at the start of you medication then propanolol will make it fall.....dizziness and tiredness.
Are we getting the whole story?

sqad617.. I also used to take it for anxiety and stress so it is something that is prescribed for this reason. Doomey!.. I dont think that the bronchitus is a side effect of the drugs but the dizzyness probably is. You may benefit from a different dosage so it is worth speaking to your GP.
