Doctor can propranolol 40 mg be used on and off or onky when needed or social anxiety for example i have metings for 2 days so can i just take it for 2 days and stop?

This beta blocker is not approved for combating anxiety but some doctors prescribe it for off label use. If it works for you you can do it but it may have rebound effect which means the anxiety may get worse without it later on.
