I'm looking for some help with the dosage for propranolol before SN. I've read all the information I could find on SS. It looks like most people are going with 200mg or more. Would that be too much for someone with a lower resting heart rate? How much would 200mg drop the heart rate?
My resting heart rate when I'm relaxed is around 60 bpm, but it often fluctuates between 60's and mid 90's because of my anxiety.
I tested 10mg propranolol when my heart rate was 60 bpm and it lowered to 55 bpm. The next time I tried 20 mg, again when my heart rate was about 60 bpm, and it dropped to 46 bpm. Would taking much more propranolol make my heart rate uncomfortably low?
I should add that I take paroxetine, and I read that it increases propranolol's effectiveness.
