Hi Tinks, hope you are well, I went to the docs yesterday and she as put me on propranolol 40mg, three times daily, I took them yesterday and felt sort of spaced out, today I have only taken one and feel a bit better, did thid happen to you when you started on them, I also had bp checked yesterday 110 / 80, do you think this may be the cause? xx

Mabye thats a bit much then!!

I started a few weeks ago 40mg once a day but i still felt a bit edgey and am now upto two/three a day!!!

Mabye your BP is making you feel a bit woozy yeah- drink enough!!

I havent felt spaced out- just cold sometimes!! I think itss the kind of tablet you can manage yourself and find what works for you? Theyve really helped me!

Hope your doing ok? Im sure you will work out your dose in a few days and feel great :0) xxxxx

Hi tinks, have you heard anything about that job you wanted yet ?

[Traci66]

She told me to start on three a day, but as I said, just taken one today, she has given me them because I just feel so angry all the time, you know, with everything that has been going on, hopefully these will make me calmer and she gave me a months supply at three per day. I am so glad you're feeling better xx

Traci i can totally understand your feelings right now! Youve had a rough ride recently and i really hope that these help!! I felt at ease because theyre not addictive- my doc said the starting point really is 40mg 3x a day- but i was initially given less by another doc- then she said infact, start with one, then two then three depending on how you feel!

I was getting that thumping heart and racing when i get worked up and although a "silly thought" comes - no symptoms come which makes it easier to ignore the thought!! So hopefully when you get worked up and angry- you might think about the bad stuff, but you wont get that thumping heart and adrenalin rush!! I dont bloody miss it!

What about counselling? I now have an appointment- cant wait cos i do sill have a wobble .....habit though!!!!! Xxxx

Ps: thanks for asking tony! Be starting in a few weeks pending disclosure and refs xxxx

[Traci66]

Waiting for an appointment for counselling too.

[Traci66]

They actually do it at the docs surgery, so she said I shouldn't be waiting too long.

[tinkerbell23]

I waited 4 weeks for contact and have an app in just under two weeks- mines is at docs too- so im pleased...

Well.....lets do this together then eh Traci!? Xxxx
