Thanks so much for your reply!
It seems to me that it is indeed feeding a depressive mood. I think she needs to be taking some VitD too. It's very dark and rainy for months here. I think it is affecting her health esp. at the moment while she's so anxious. I looked up the side-effects of the propranolol and it clearly stated that visual hallucinations were possible even at a very low dose as she's been prescribed. ugh How scary is that! She is a student and is having memory problems. I was reminded of the l-theanine posts today when I was looking for info. here. Thanks. She's due back at her doctor on 25th. I make her take lists these days. Will look into the Atenolol. Thanks so much. p.s. I think we're a family with excess cortisol! |

I took 20mg 3 times a day after my son was born. The Endo put me on it after the Cushing's test came out negative.
I used it for about 3 months, when he released me back to my internist. (it was for blood pressure control). She took me off it immediately and put me on Tenormin (atenolol) and I took that for 13 yrs and started to get breathing issues (bronchospasms). I only use 1/2 --25mg tablet before the dentist now. She won't let me have it anymore. I never had hallucinations, and was really too busy to notice much depression, but looking back on it, I think a low grade depression was there. I had weight gain from it too. I have the cortisol problem big time. That is why I like the theanine. It cuts that way down.

FWIW, I was taking atenolol (25 mg./day) for several years as a migraine prophylactic (a case of our ins. co. playing doctor). Primary or side effect, I may as well have been taking air pills (nothing, because that's all the effect I noticed).
One day I looked down at the bottle, thought about it, and said, "What am I taking these for?" and stopped. No difference then either. Doc
