Hey guys,
I’ve been an anxious person my whole life.
A few months ago I started applying for jobs and I knew that my anxiety would be a major hurdle during the interviews and wouldn’t let me present my knowledge and skillset properly. So I started looking for medications that could help me alleviate my issue. That’s how I found out about Propranolol. I read dozens of testimonials of people who claimed that this drug has rid them of their anxiety and completely changed their lives. So I got really excited and immediately purchased it. I went straight to the 40mg tablets, because I didn’t want to wait to test out 10/20mg first. So I took my first tablet before one of the interviews and to my surprise it had no perceivable effect whatsoever. My voice was still extremely shaky, I was stumbling over my words, sweating profusely, I had massive stomach pain/discomfort etc. 
Nothing changed. Needless to say I was quite disappointed because I thought that I had found the miracle drug that would turn my life around. Later on I did a bit of research and found out that Propranolol works by slowing down your heart rate and that gave me a hint as to why the medication is not working for me. Increased heart rate hasn’t really been a noticeable side effect of heightened anxiety for me. The main issues for me are the stomach discomfort + my brain going a 1000 mp/h and not being able to focus properly, leading to me panicking and stumbling over my words. Since then I’ve taken Propranolol on several other stress provoking occasions, unfortunately without any success. So I’m kinda back at square one now. Has anyone in here been in a similar situation and can you offer me any advice?
