Propranolol

Hey everyone! this is my fisrt post on here..I started taking propranolol (Inderal) yesturday and I couldnt believe it..I havnt felt so relaxed and calm in social situations for years!!! I was wondering who on here takes propranolol and if you take it just before 'feared' events or everyday and the dosage you take? I'm taking 20 mg a day..10 mg when I wake up, and then another 10 mg six hours after that.

I've been taking Propranolol for over 2 years now, and it only works on me to a certain extent, depending upon how 'feared' the event is.

Do you take Propranolol everyday or just before certain events? Does Propranolol loose its effectiveness if you use it everday? How many mg do you take?

I take it when I think I'm going to need it, so it isn't necessary every day.

I usually take one or two tablets, so its a 10mg or 20mg dose.

I'm not entirely sure whether it would lose its effectiveness if you take it every day, although it still works on me 2 years later.

I find that if I'm just going out to do shopping, it does calm me down quite effectively. For more "dangerous" social events, e.g. going to a football match, then it loses its effectiveness and I find myself plagued by anxiety.
