Yes.: In addition to helping control your blood pressure it can also help control anxiety that often accompanies depression. Just monitor your blood pressure.

Possibly: For someone who is 25 that's a pretty high dose for both those medications. Ask your doctor about both medications together and what else you can do to lower your blood pressure.

It's possible that: By taking the two medications together, you could get a stronger effect from the propranolol than expected. Zoloft (sertraline) can increase levels of propranolol. So as long as you are being monitored by your prescribing physician you should be fine. Keep on the lookout for low heart rates, lightheadedness, weakness or passing out. That may mean the propranolol dose is "too strong" for your. Best of luck

Zoloft (sertraline) Beta Blocker: Beta blockers can slow down the brain processes, even to the point aggravating existing depression. Propranolol penetrates the brain substantially. I recommend you take propranolol at night. Ask your prescriber if atenolol may not be preferred, since its brain penetration is a lot less than propranolol.
