Measure
Propranolol + Relaxation/Guided Imagery
A starting dose of propranolol 20 mg is taken by mouth twice a day (40 mg/day). If patient tolerates the initial dose (no hypotension or bradycardia), dose increased to 40 mg by mouth twice a day at start of second month of therapy. Patients record study medication taken each day in a pill diary. Patient given an MP3 player with an audio recording to listen to 2 times a week for up to 4 months. The recording lasts 20 minutes. Relaxation diary completed stating whether patient was able to complete the sessions and whether they had any difficulties with it.
