I was recently prescribed 10mg of propranolol three times a day. Very small dose, and it doesn't seem to be having any of the effects it's supposed to. No prevention of my out of control upright tachycardia, and not even any anxiety relief. Despite that, I've been way more depressed than usual since I started the script. I can't tell if the depression is from the med or if it's just hopelessness at the whole medical situation that has caused me to have to take the propranolol in the first place. I've googled this a bit and it seems there might be a connection between propranolol and depression, but it looked like the studies were very uncertain overall because others found it actually lowered depression. Very mixed studies.
So what I want to know is if anyone here has experienced increased depression on this beta blocker, what kind of dose you were on, and if it went away with time or doseage changes or anything else?
