Propranolol

Ill run out over the bank holiday...

Called docs to ask for it to be on repeat as ive to take regularly..

She said ill prob have to go in to be seen by doc - just waiting on a call back!!

Once when i was just taking them as and when i called for more and was denied...

Was wondering why they are more difficult
To obtain? Theyre not controlled drugs are they!?

Not moaning!! I dont mind popping into be seen at all.....just curious ??? Xx

Fortunately its not a drug that probably requires a lifetimes use. Without it a fast pulse will eventually give you pains in the centre of the chest similar to Angina.

The best long term treatment is not to rely on the drug but take up some form of relaxation like Yoga or deep breathing which will eventally have some effect.

Im awaiting counceing pdq thankfully and im really looking forward to
It!!!! It will help me im sure. Feel really positive about it!

THANKFULLY i just called up and theres a prescription for me...woohoo x

pdq1....It may have a short half life, but it's pharmacological activity is up to 12 hours, hence it tends to be a twice daily dose.

Your findings are interesting.

3 x daily is ideal for me...works
Out perfectly by "that feeling" i know its time
For another !! (obviously the timing aswell) x

Tinks-- a bit of a tip for the future. Like you I take regular tablets and have forgotten to re-order at holiday times. Big panic then of course-- so now as I go along I cut 2 tablets of a new strip and put them in a safe place, do this perhaps 3 times -- and then a few in reserve for when I next forget -- usually bank holidays.
Probably lots of reasons why you shouldn't do this, but it does help to stop me from panicking.
Hope you get sorted out with the medication .Sincerely Brenda.

tinks, check how long your doc's usually takes for a script - if I put one in on Monday, I can collect it after 4pm on wednesday, don't risk getting left without any.

In England GPs can only prescribe a maximum about of some drugs, a week's worth or something like that, it depends on what it is.
