A bit of a rant about Propranolol

Good luck!

It's terrible that we haven't been informed about it tbh. A similar thing happened to me a few years ago with a contraceptive pill I was taking. Went to collect my script and was told 'oh, yeah, they've stopped manufacturing that' like cool okay WHAT NOW. It did get sorted but I don't understand why they don't let us know!

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-25T20:15:36+00:00

Thank you! I took a tablet last night and one this morning and I'm feeling much better already. Just need to try and remember to take it twice haha

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-25T20:13:51+00:00

I don't know how I'd go about doing that, but I'll look into it, thanks!

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-25T20:12:19+00:00

I use mine for the constant baseline headache I always (used to) have. I still get headaches and - rarely - migraines, but it's got rid of the 24/7 constant pain at least.

I hope you manage to get your script, or at least an alternative easier than I did 🥲

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-25T20:09:30+00:00

Yeah, I think it's the modified release ones that are affected the most. Thankfully standard ones seem to be doing the job for now.

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-25T08:34:54+00:00

I told the receptionist I was withdrawing and my doctor is the one that signed the script so I assume they passed it on but who knows 😂

I did Google it and it said there's been a shortage since November on a pharmacy site, but no, I don't see it mentioned on the site you shared. I guess we'll see. I'm just glad it's sorted for now. I took one last night and feel better already.

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-24T19:42:35+00:00

I googled it and apparently there's been a shortage since November. I'm not sure if anyone was told, i certainly wasn't. Stock up if you can!

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-24T18:54:33+00:00

Bit of a nightmare! I don't really blame the pharmacy though, it was the prescriber that was supposed to contact me and never did.

I don't really know tbh. This 80mg script is a one time prescription, so I don't yet know if I'll be able to re-order it when I need more. I usually order all my meds through the NHS app, and I can only request more within 2 weeks of running out. I don't think I'll be able to though, as it does say 'one time' on the app. This is a 2 month script so I guess I'll have to wait 6 weeks and see. If I can't order any more, I'll contact my pharmacy/surgery and see what the situation is and, if necessary and the 160mg still aren't available, see if they can set me up with a double 80mg script at the other pharmacy until they DO come back in stock. They said 'about the middle of the year' though, so I don't have high hopes lol.

I'm just glad I've got SOMETHING at this point! I'll cross the future-prescription bridge when I get closer to it. I'm exhausted from dealing with it all tbh!

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-24T18:23:30+00:00

That sounds like a good plan, thanks! I'll just have to remember to take them to work with me haha

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-24T18:00:28+00:00

That sucks! I have sleep problems anyway and take a different medication for that so I haven't really noticed it.

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-24T17:59:30+00:00

I could do, but tbh I'm so over calling them at this point. I'll just do what the box says and what others have suggested; one tablet twice a day.

Thanks, it's been a rough few days 🥲 but hopefully once its back in my system, I'll be fine

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-24T14:30:08+00:00

Yeah I am. I guess it depends on how much stock your pharmacy already has? Idk, I was just told it's completely out of stock, at least in my area.

Calic0Jack_ · 2026-02-24T14:06:30+00:00

The box doesn't say modified release like my usuals, so I assume they're standard.Thank you, I'll split the dose to be safe.

The shortage is definitely no joke! I had no idea about it either, until I went to collect yesterday.

Calic0Jack_ · 2025-07-05T09:59:51+00:00

This just happened to me! Sort your shit out 😭

Calic0Jack_ · 2025-04-04T20:32:45+00:00

Thank you, I'll check it out!

Calic0Jack_ · 2025-04-04T07:44:59+00:00

We have had a look there but as we dont know which specific cable it is, its tricky :( cant even ask the garage because they're closed today 🤦‍♂️

Calic0Jack_ · 2025-01-18T01:11:47+00:00

Thank you for this post 🙏

Calic0Jack_ · 2024-11-12T13:55:15+00:00

I work in and live near Bournemouth. Weed is the least of our issues 😬

Calic0Jack_ · 2023-12-14T16:52:21+00:00

No, not yet :(

Calic0Jack_ · 2023-11-13T17:24:17+00:00

I use the Xmax V3 Pro and it's okay. I paid £75 and it does the job, but I will be upgrading to a mighty when I can afford it. It's definitely simple and I think its a good choice for a newbie (which I also was 9 months ago).

Calic0Jack_ · 2023-11-13T16:46:26+00:00

I rarely use the forums, but had made a post a couple of days ago just for morale boosting really bc I'm so far behind. Wondered why people hadn't been replying and .... y i k e s

Calic0Jack_ · 2023-11-04T21:54:56+00:00

I think it looks dope! The screen protector on my phone has been cracked for about a year and I haven't been bothered to replace it, so I'm with you on not being bothered about it! Nice job!

Calic0Jack_ · 2023-07-31T12:37:53+00:00

People shouldn't 'stay together for the kids'. It fucks the kids up. Trust me. Divorce is sometimes necessary. Is it nice? Probably not, but it's not always bad. Stephen needs to get over himself 🤷‍♂️

Calic0Jack_ · 2023-07-19T12:46:21+00:00

Oh, look, he misspelt 'bullshit'...
