It also doesn't help that I've got negative symptoms, cognitive impairment, and cognitive blunting to contend with now that I have schizoaffective disorder and am being treated for it. I miss the functionality that I had when I was taking Nardil, and I think that if I can gain maybe 2/3 of that functionality back I'd be satisfied with my treatment.

How long did you use the propranolol? Did you notice and side effects? I take ativan with the Wellbutrin and it does help to some degree but it makes me tired. Wonder how ativan compares to the propranolol with the Wellbutrin.
Good luck with your meds also.
