Anxiety: Address the issue rather than just masking symptoms with alprazolam. Strongly encourage you to consider cognitive behavioral therapy so that you can get better control over this. Take care.

A member asked:
If im very late taking my dose of propranolol in the morning, I get very breathless. Is this a symptom of propranolol withdrawal, or is it more likely I have another condition that is being alleviated by taking propranolol. I only take it for anxiety?
