It is completely alright to take small doses like 20-60 mg of Propranolol- commonly taken Beta Blocker to control physical symptoms of anxiety. It works wonders. No cognitive side effects.
Next Steps
I would advise to prime yourself with the drug dose- start low and note for any side effects like giddiness (commonly with posture change). History of Asthma should be ruled out. May cause bradycardia- watch over pulse and blood pressure should be done.
Health Tips
Consult psychiatrist if treatment naive before starting it.
