I don't. I think I had some issues back when I took the short acting one but on the extended release there's been no side effects

Ah I wasn’t aware there was an extended release version! How long does it last and no extra fatigue, if you don’t mind my asking?

I can feel it wearing off after like 4 or 5 hours

I’m not entirely sure what POTS is but I feel tired all day long. I’ve been on it for 20 years.

I’m so sorry to hear that. I deal with chronic fatigue as well from other conditions, but it seems especially bad around the 7-8 hour mark on propranolol with regularity. POTS = Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Basically bend over/get up/change positions too fast and my heart started pounding rapidly.
