Propranolol uses

Propranolol may offer relief for certain individuals suffering from performance anxiety when they face highly stressful moments.
Common scenarios that trigger this nervous tension include delivering a speech to a crowd, taking part in an audition, attending a job interview and other similar high-pressure events.
It is essential for you to consult your healthcare provider to figure out if propranolol is a suitable treatment choice for your own physical condition.

How propranolol works

Propranolol is a beta-blocker that works by blocking the effects of adrenaline — the hormone your body releases when you feel stressed or nervous. By doing so, it helps control the physical symptoms of anxiety, such as a racing heart, trembling hands, sweating, and that tight feeling in your chest. Taken 30 to 60 minutes before a stressful event, Propranolol can help ease performance anxiety during your big moment — whether it's a major presentation at work, a high-stakes job interview, a public speech, or any situation where you need to feel calm and collected. It doesn't make you drowsy or numb your emotions; it simply quiets the body's physical stress response so you can focus on performing at your best.

A beta-blocker for anxiety

Beta-blockers prevent adrenaline, from making contact with your beta receptors, limiting your body’s physical reactions to anxiety. These reactions can include a racing heartbeat, shaky voice or hands, or sweating. By reducing some of these physical reactions, propranolol can help you feel less anxious.

Beta-blockers such as Propranolol are FDA approved to treat high blood pressure, angina and certain other conditions. Treatment for these conditions is not currently offered through hims. Propranolol and other beta-blockers are not specifically approved by the FDA for treatment of anxiety disorders and use of Propranolol for performance anxiety is an ‘off-label use.

Customer Reviews

  • 5/5 stars!

    Propranolol from Hims completely changed how I feel before big presentations. I used to get shaky hands and a racing heartbeat every time I spoke in front of clients, and now those physical nerves are gone.

  • Game-changer for anyone dealing with situational anxiety.

    I only use it for important stressful events, and a single dose is enough. Glad I found this option after talking with my doctor

    Lila M.

  • This has helped my audition anxiety so much.

    As an actor, my hands would tremble badly before going on stage, and it ruined my performances. These 20mg propranolol tablets calm my body down perfectly.

  • Honestly a lifesaver for my job interviews.

    I take one tablet 45 minutes beforehand and I can finally focus on answering questions instead of panicking. No weird side effects for me at all, will keep using as needed.

    Mia T.

  • 5 stars without a doubt.

    I suffer from performance anxiety during work meetings. After consulting with the provider and taking this medication as directed, my heart stops pounding and I can speak calmly. The packaging is neat and portable.

    Jake R.

  • Good!!!

    I was nervous to try prescription medication at first, but the whole Hims experience was smooth. The propranolol works exactly as described for my public speaking anxiety. No jitters, just clear focus.
