    Yes, only on the advice of your doctor though if hes prescribed you both and says take both then do.

    Propanalol is a beta blocker it will stop the release of adrenalin to your body

    Sertraline is a serotonin booster usually used for depression, it creates happy chemicals.

    hi

    ​sertraline took 8 weks for me to see improvment, i still had days of tears and upset but not too much and i controlled best i could, propranolol made it much better, but please give sertraline time to work 5 weeks is not enough to be fair. take care

      Do you have a therapist? These drugs should be used in conjunction with therapy. There's a mental blockage that's making you feel this way the drugs just mask the problem they don't cure it.

      Good some people get these pills then complain when they don't work when they're doing no action to sort out their issues. I hope things get better pal smile

      I took 40 mg propanalol this morning and for the first time my stomach has stopped.however they are tablets I was prescribed two years ago.it may be a co-incidence .As it is a weekend my doctor doesn't know I'v taken.my medication is 125 mcg thyroxine 150 mg sertraline.physical health doesn't usually worry me.however I don't want to take propanalol and find the mixture of all three is dangerous? What do you think?safe to take until I see doc on MondayMonday
