From what you've described, it sounds like the Inderal has not been helping but making things worse. You are right to be cautious when stopping a medication abruptly. It would be best to consult with the physician that prescribed the medication before making a change.

Work closely with your physician, and discuss this decision. Inderal is indeed a drug causing a multitude of adverse effects, and likely can be replaced with other medicines, but again, contact your doctor and do not take independent action at this point.
