A member asked:

Is it safe to lift weights while on 10mg of propranolol (2x-3x per day) for anxiety?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Usually: unless you have been told otherwise by a doctor lifting weights while taking this medication is okay. Remember to start off with a light load, and increase gradually. Exercising can help with anxiety, so it's a positive sign that you are asking these kinds of questions. Good luck, and I hope you continue to feel better.
