I have been taking low dosage Propranolol for about a year now. It was prescribed for me for my hemiplegic migraines. Combined with exercise and occasional CBD oil it has completely eliminated migraines from my life.
This medication is absolutely brilliant and harmless. Also keeps my resting heart rate around 55.
If you struggle with migraines, talk to your neurologist, for me it was a life changer.
The same thing happened to me, and it unexpectedly was a huge relief for my anxiety. I went off of the propanolol about two years ago after losing a considerable amount of weight, thinking that I no longer needed it. My work performance suffered and I was having considerable difficulty finding a job and was getting the same sorts of crippling anxiety I'd had in my 20s.
It took about a year and a half to finally have a light bulb moment that the Propanolol was the major difference between the most successful and prosperous years of my life and the parts of my life where I've been an anxious hot mess. I'm so glad I stumbled upon this medicine as it's truly made my life more meaningful in allowing me to achieve what I'm really capable of as a software developer.
My resting heart rate is about 55, and I don't do a lot (arguably not any) of cardio. I'm probably in the group of people who shouldn't take propranolol.
my resting heart rate was high 30s-low 40s. I was put on propranolol and now my resting heart rate is in the mid 40s. I am the exact opposite of an athlete.
