A member asked:
Is it possible to develop tolerance to propranolol? if i use it for performance anxiety may i need to step up my dosage over time?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Not usually.: Intermittent use should not cause this. There is a lot of room to move with dosing on propranolol. You may develop an increased need for meds over time but may just as well be related to increased anxiety!
