A member asked:

I'm on 20mg of propalanol (inderal (propranolol) ) is that a lot? and what could happen of i stop? i'm on it for anxiety.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

low dose: You are taking a low dose of Propranolol at 20mg. If it is effective in improving anxiety for you, stopping it may cause your anxiety level to increase again. I doubt any cardiovascular effects considering your age, diagnoses and dose.
