hi! I think your dose of propranolol is pretty typical...mine was 60mgs/daily for akithisia/anxiety. Given the huge differences in dosage, I would say that propranolol's effects are dosage-dependent. I've also taken higher dosages, and there seems, subjectively, to be a difference; at 160mgs or so, its almost like taking an ativan, except it has the added benefit of slowing down the pulse and lowering the blood pressure a bit. I've never taken any other beta blockers, but I here a lot of people take pindolol (sp?) for purposes similar to propranolol, though propranolol seems to be a classic remedy...its even mentioned in layman's books on some forms of mental illness.
