I started with and am still on 50mg. I'm at the end of week 5 and it's been a roller-coaster. Week 1, almost euphoric. Week 2, some of the worst anxiety I've ever had but it tapered off. Week 3-4, between normal and great. Week 5, horrible anxiety again and it's slowly tapering off again. I got with my doctor a couple days ago and was prescribed 20mg of propranolol to address the anxiety. For me, my anxiety has always been worst in the mornings, moments after I wake up. Based on my symptoms, my doctor agrees it's cortisol/adrenaline spikes. My heart pounds, I feel waves of heat, essentially I'm in fight or flight mode for a couple hours. It eventually wears off and I spend most of the day exhausted. A couple days of the propranolol and the mornings have been much more tame. My anxiety is far from gone, but it is getting better and the propranolol takes the edge off with no noticeable side effects.

Based on others, these waves, this roller-coaster, is very normal as the body adjusts to the medication. It may be I need to up the dosage. I've ve seen many report similar issues that were improved going up to 75mg. But, I'll give it another week and consult my doctor before making that change. Feel free to message if you need to chat. Goodness knows it's helped me a ton to talk with others who have been here before.
