Does propranolol eventually make you “emotionless”?
I have read some years ago that 25% of people on long term beta blockers (propranolol is a type of beta blocker) develop clinical depression. Which can make your behaviour “flat” and “seemingly emotionless”. Many entertainers take beta blockers to prevent stage fright occasionally. But…beta blockers reduce the chance of a second heart attack, and are very effective in treating many heart/blood pressure/migraine disorders. I would suggest you take the propranolol and see what happens to your mood. If you become depressed or your loved ones tell you you are acting strange, speak to your doctor about using a different medication.
