Guest guest Posted April 24, 2002 Report Share Posted April 24, 2002 Hi I saw my derm. yesterday and he prescribed me with propranolol 40mg each day for flushing. It doesn't seem to have made much difference yet - do you think this dose is enough to make any difference? Many thanks - Simon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted April 25, 2002 Report Share Posted April 25, 2002 Simon, I've never prescribed propranolol for flushing or stage fright so I can't help you with the finer points, though it's a very commonly prescribed medication for stage fright. What's the exact dose -- 40 mg once a day, or 10 mg four times a day? Is your dermatologist aware of your concerns regarding lethargy and depression (because propranolol are well-known to exacerbate both symptoms, so be on the lookout.) Good luck, and keep us posted.
