Has anyone used propranolol (Inderal)?

Question

I saw it on 60 Minutes where it was used to block bad memories. I wonder it if would help me? Has anyone tried it? If so, did you need high blood pressure to ask for it, or was your doctor aware of it's alternative use?

Or, do you know any natural or herbal remedies that might work the same?

Answer 1

I was prescribed propranolol during both of my pregnancies to combat tachycardia (fancy word for rapid pulse). I took a pretty high dosage of it for 6 out of 9 months of pregnancy for each kid (two kids), and I can't honestly say it made me forget a darned thing.
