In on old thread because I want to be informative, as no doctor told me this.

I take propanolol (for shakes I get in my hands).

No sides EXCEPT when I'm on it, my heart rate won't go over 140ish.

So if you're planning to go for a run, or you are nervous about a sports event you are participating in, make sure it is out of your body by then.

Sounds like placebo paranoia. There is no mechanism by which it can mess with your mental state (short-term, anyway). And it is easily one of the most tolerated drugs out there.

You can even up to 40 with no repercussions. It's hard to know 20mg is enough until you're up there on stage. I mean, people who take this chit due to heart problem will be popping 200+ mg.

Also, I'd take it about 1.5h before, as it takes approx 1h to kick in.

You think Marcus Aurelius was popping beta-blockers when he had to rally thousands of troops to fight off the Germanic tribes?

Fuk no, and neither should you when you just have to give a 15 minute Powerpoint presentation for your 9-5 office job.

Pop 40mg a few times before.

On the day, take it 1.5 before the even, and before you eat. Halflife is about 4 hours. That's the other reason a higher dosage is better.

Lots of execs take it for public events. Jeff bezos being one of the major ones. He's done pretty well for himself.

It doesn't affect your baseline. Just don't go for a run lol. Read the edit i did of my first post today. People pop 200mg-300mg easy for heart issues.

Again, doing it a few times before hand. 40mg in the morning before heading to work one day, 40mg another day in the afternoon, 40mg a weekend when you go out to dinner with it. That's how you get comfortable with it.

It's not like heroin where you need to build up a tolerance either. Jumping straight on 40 is whatever.

You will not pass out, I promise you lmao

Don't make it a daily habit. Only specific purposes.

I've taken it daily for a year, about 120-160mg per day. Now if I completely stop it my body feels weird. Im down to 40-60mg per day.

It's been shown in some studies to be linked to depression when taken over long periods of time.

So use it for specific things, and then you will also get the experience that public speaking etc aint chit and you may not even need it in the future.

GL gotta head tto work.

I'm mostly joking. If it works, it works. I hate giving public speeches srs

It's still most likely something that can be conquered mentally, at least for me
