I suffer with social anxiety. is it safe to combine propranolol (10mg) with paxil (paroxetine) (20mg) for situational anxiety such as work meetings etc?

Yes: That is a good combination if you take the Paxil (paroxetine) daily for overall anxiety, then take the Propranolol before anxious situations, such as meetings, speeches, etc.
