Worth trying? Can't: If u r bothered by having to take Inderal (propranolol) 3x/day (perhaps ur working, or forgetting to carry doses w/ you), then it's worthwhile asking ur doc if he can prescribe the extended release (XR) form. While the math works 4 most ppl (40 mg x 3/day = 120 mg XR), some ppl require more & some require less. But 120 mg is a gd starting amt. U may have break-thru, in which case 20mg or 40mg can supplement XR.
