Appreciate the feedback Gray, but a reminder to Carol and anyone else reading: this is NOT medical advice, and you should run everything by a licensed medical professional for your own safety and peace of mind!

In fact Atenolol is taken on a daily basis for many patients. Check if you have pre-existing low blood pressure or other cardiac problems: these problems may preclude you from taking them.

Hi Carol; as I’m not a licensed medical professional I do not want to hand out specific dosage information as there is no way of telling how any recommendations may affect you. My recommendation is to speak to your beta blocker prescription provider and/or your doctor about dosage for using beta blockers for anxiety and limitations on how often you should/can take your specific prescription. Also ask about any potential side effects of prolonged usage and, if possible, ask about interactions of the beta blocker with any other medication you may be taking.

For non-specific general advice about Propranolol dosage for anxiety purposes, we have a new page covering this here: https://performanceanxiety.com/propranolol-dose-for-anxiety/
Please note that this is NOT medical advice, and you should run everything by a licensed medical professional for your own safety and peace of mind!
