This is an old thread, but I've just been prescribed Propanolol as after being off the booze for 5 weeks, physical and emotional withdrawal was really messing with me. Panic, anxiety, depression, fog, confusion - it's all been writing me on edge reay bad.
My doctor hasn't been great with explanation of the physical side of what I'm going through. Just that's it normal and I shouldn't worry, so he was giving me the beta-blockers to help me through.
Coming back and doing some research, there have been trials and papers suggesting that propranolol can in some cases reduce alcohol cravings.
Has anyone heard of this or had experience in this at all?
My doc didn't mention it, but now I'm wondering if this is something GPs do?
