What dose did your doctor presctibe???  THAT would be what you want to take.  Every person and every indication is different, therefore, what one person would be prescribed, wouldn't necessarily be the same for another.

How long ago were you prescribed the Inderal?  If it's been a while, just be sure to check for an expiration date, to make sure the medication hasn't expired.

Palpitations are a very common manifestation of anixety...and Inderal is one of the most commonly prescribed meds to treat them....regardless of the cause (anxiety, heart murmur, etc)

Give it a try....I think you'll be pleasantly surprised.

I take 20mg 2 x a day.

i know, i'm going to suck it up and take it tomm. do you know what the intial dosage of propanolol for anxiety is? i thought 20mg might me too much? maybe just splitting it in half..i was trying to search on here to see how the dosage was for someone with anxiety but couldnt really find much except horror stories im trying to avoid..lol

Don't be nervous, I take it and have for years with no problems.  It's short acting and works on your anxiety.
