Need advice on taking propranolol for migraine prevention and anxiety reduction

Wait what!? I'm soo confused I need to take it with food? I was told only once a day not twice at the dose I was given cause I suck@ taking pills regularly or @ the same time. I was told the exact time isn't very important but I should take it first thing in the morning. I don't typically eat until the afternoon or consume any calories. I'm doing intermittent fasting such I told her as well and she was ok with it.

I have the same fears I don't like prescriptions my body always overreacts to them. I'm on metoprolol because it's heart specific I tried propranolol but it wasn't helping my heart as much I have a lot of tachycardia and racy heartbeat and palpitations and if it's severe and lasts more than 20 minutes it will send me into AFib. Any beta blocker though helps with anxiety because it blocks your adrenal flow and your reactions from affecting your heart. You can start every other day if you want that would get your body used to it on a slow scale and after a few days if you haven't had any terrible side effects go to everyday but start with a very low dose and give yourself 8 weeks to get used to it when I started this medication it took almost a year for my body to get adjusted enough to settle down and I know that's a long time but it's worth it the beta blockers take a while to adjust in the system and give you a therapeutic level so that you can really know how it's affecting your body. Don't give up too soon that would be the key! You're going to feel very drowsy when you first start this beta blocker I take mine first thing in the morning and right before I go to bed 12 hours apart cuz you have to eat food with it in order to absorb the constituents also you need to take CoQ10 along with your beta blocker that helps it do its job better I was told this by a chiropractor and he was right! I wish medical doctors would advise that they would get a lot better results from giving out beta blockers.

Good to know yall. Ty

I was taking it till I got diagnosed with pots. But I was taking it for my tremor

Take it daily... it is also used for high blood pressure so taking it sporadically can mess with you bp

Hey I take propranalol every day. I was nervous too, but it takes away the fight-or-flight feeling of anxiety for me because is slows down my heart rate. I would take it daily as prescribed because it doesn't last in your system for 48 hours, which is why you are supposed to take it every day. I would ask your doctor about it more to help you feel more comfortable!
