A member asked:
I take 10-20mg of propranolol monday through friday to prevent panic attacks at work. should i take on weekends too to keep it daily? what's safer?

Propanolol: Propanolol can help with some of the peripheral symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heart rate, sweating, tremor, etc -- but you may still experience emotional fear or anxiety in certain situations. For true panic disorder, treatment with ssri's or other antidepressants works much better. If you haven't already done this, please consult with a psychiatrist and get both assessment & treatment.
