A member asked:
Been on 10mg propranolol beta blocker for 6 weeks 1 a day for anxiety. can i just stop taking them? or do i go down to 5mg?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Best 5mg: Probably best to reduce and then stop but the dose that your taking is probably safe to stop since plain Propranolol (not extended release) is only effective for 4-8 hrs after taken.
