"i was prescribed this when i was first medicated, and it works incredibly. i have extremely severe anxiety, with severe physical side effects just on a normal day. my body practically shuts down during an anxiety attack. i was prescribed 80mg of the extended-release capsules and within two days my physical symptoms lessened. i was still anxious, but my body stopped reacting so violently to anxiety, and my attacks toned down a lot. it&#039;s like propranolol took everything down a couple notches, so that instead of a 5 my baseline was a 2 and my anxiety attacks went from an 8 to a 4. the only thing is, don&#039;t take such a high dose immediately, try to wean onto it, because i spent plenty of time in and out of the er because i kept passing out, oops"
