Question 1

can you take paxil (paroxetine) with inderal?

Accepted Answer

With caution: Paxil (paroxetine) may increase the bp-lowering effect of inderal; so a person on both should be monitored for hypotension (dizziness, feeling faint), slow heart rate, ekg changes. Discuss this issue with the prescribing doc to determine if there are viable alternatives to either drug that won't cause this interaction.

Question 2

propranolol (inderal) for test  anxiety in kids?

Accepted Answer

I don't do this.: Some drs treat test anxiety w/ propanolol(inderal). I do not. This med is cognitively suppressive-esp if used episodically-so it can backfire. My experience is that there are better meds& methods. Also, I do not treat this anxiety only during testing. Whatever meds are used should be used routinely; otherwise, it is less effective. Plus, the patient needs to be acclimated well in advance of test.

Question 10

what is the difference between inderal 40mg and toprol (metoprolol) xl 50?

Accepted Answer

Subtle: Inderal is more lipophilic than toprol (metoprolol) - it crosses the blood brain barrier more readily than toprol (metoprolol). Thus it's better for migraine and stage fright but can cause more  fatigue and depression. Toprol (metoprolol) is more beta 1 specific than inderal. That makes it a better drug for someone who may have COPD or mild asthma.
