does propranolol help w/ sweating? How much do you need to take. I took 25 mg last night and it didn't do much for sweating.

>does propranolol help w/ sweating?
In my experience....... no.
Propranolol reduces blood pressure and slows the heart. It is effective in the treatment of high blood pressure and angina. It is also used to prevent migraine attacks.
It is often an effective treatment for anxiety-induced chest discomfort, a racing heart and palpitations. It can sometimes relieve tremor but is not a muscle relaxant: it does not relieve muscle tension.
Although propranolol has been used as a treatment for excessive sweating related to anxiety, there is no good evidence that it is effective.

So Nardil makes you sweat too. All drugs do, don't they? Do they induce inflammation or something? How much Nardil are you on?

oh well, I'll try 60mg tonight, then a 100 tomorrow and see if it helps at all.
I'm on 60 mg of nardil, but I often skip doses so I actually only take 30-45 and that seems to work as well as 60.

hey! propranolol didn't seem to help me much w/ sweating issues. On the downside..it can cause and/or worsen depression.
