I agree in the main with utopy, though the dose for cardiac problems is usually higher than 80mg.
I have taken it twice for long periods of a bout a year.
It is excellent for physical anxiety but does nothing for fear, ie the psychological aspect.
It killed my sweating and palpitations dead, I was on inderal la the slow release version this time and found it much smoother, also its easier to wean off, you just need to open the capsule and
take extra caplets out each day.
The only side effect for me was a slight slowing, but this wore off and I could still cycle 10 miles a day on it.
If you take it for an extended period wean ,or else! Ihave just finished a slow wean last week with no reactoin whatsoever, but last time I didn't know this!
Well worth a try.Glenn
