I just got prescribed propranolol and picked up my script today, hopefully this will help me get my anxiety induced tachycardia under control. I’ve been on propranolol before as an adolescent, at the time I didn’t think it was doing much for me, But I was much more focused on mental symptoms over physical symptoms back then so I thought I’d give it another try. 

So I picked it up and am surprised to see that the pills are about 3-4 times bigger than the ones I’m familiar with, and the dosage is 60mg. The package says to take 1 pill three times daily. Does this seem like a lot to anyone else? 

I will admit that I have a lot of hang ups about taking medication but I do trust my doctor, I just have a hard time thinking that I need that much daily. Especially when I did a little looking and it seems like many people take a much lower dose. 

And I’ll ask my doctor about it when it’s not the weekend but does anyone have any experience on how propranolol might interact with Xanax? 

If anyone would be willing to share their experience with propranolol and how much you take I’d be very thankful!!
