Coming off my meds #2

'Sup,

Two weeks in and things are going well. Of course its been difficult, when people say coming off long term medication is hard, they aren't joking.

What is good is that, mood-wise at least, I'm feeling great. I'm not struggling with anxiety etc., it's just the physical side effects of coming off the Propranolol that is difficult.

One potential side effect is death apparently, thankfully I haven't experienced that but I have experienced chest pains which has been a bitch. I've got a relatively high pain threshold (hence the tattoos) but these chest pains weren't fun at all.

This happened about five days after I dropped my dosage from 40mg to 20mg. I was doing fine but went back up to 30mg for a few days just while I got over the chest pain. Now I'm back down to 20mg, minimal chest pain and I'm kicking Propranolol's arse.

I went to the doctors on Friday when the pain was at its worst, just to double check everything was ok and I'm doing fine.

I'm hoping to drop the dosage further to 10mg by next week and hopefully be off Propranolol the week after.
