A member asked:
I used to take 160 mg propranolol for chest sensations from anxiety. i realized this is a big dose and reduced to 80 mg. now 40 mg. is this sufficient?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
You tell me.: 160 mg/day is not a big dose. This medication is given to reduce symptoms. If you feel fine on the current dose continue. Consider decreasing to see how low you can go. The object should be not to need anything if you can help it.

If im very late taking my dose of propranolol in the morning, I get very breathless. Is this a symptom of propranolol withdrawal, or is it more likely I have another condition that is being alleviated by taking propranolol. I only take it for anxiety?
