Yeah, I'm stuck by just how calm I feel after taking it. I guess normally I'm a bit keyed up or on edge. I worry about my BP spikes now, I just read that anxiety induced hypertension does damage. I'm kind of glad I have some propranolol now, even though I only have 9 pills. I'm not sure why my pdoc gives me so little, maybe she's afraid I will OD on them? I dunno, but I think you can take a lot before it harms you.
