Radha Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 i was just wondering how long it takes for the beta blockers to start taking effect, not the time release, just propranolol or atenolol, maybe an hour? you are supposed to feel the difference right away right? thanks,radha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dizzygirl Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 Hiwhen I started taking propranolol, I noticed a difference after about 4 hours of taking it. I had such a burst of energy!! It was fantastic!It was a good difference.. I'm not sure sure if this is a typical response to meds.. now when I take propranolol, I notice a difference after a few hours.. sometimes good. sometimes not...best of luck to you!

yogini Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 I take atenolol. I start to feel the difference within 20 minutes but it takes an hr for it to reach its full effect on me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patricia Posted July 16, 2005 Report Share Posted July 16, 2005 When I started Inderal, I had been undiagnosed for over 8 years and was similar to you Radha. It was very hard to get on, playing with the dose (I only take 5-10mg. at each dose- baby dose) and it took THREE months for my system to feel something was improving. Hang in there.Patricia Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
