I was prescribed propranolol 10 mg for anxiety on monday. i took one pill monday and one on wednesday. i read about the risks of stopping after forming dependence and it worried me, i would prefer not to he dependent on something. can i stop taking at this point without risking problems since ive only taken a low dose twice? thank you.

    i replied to your original post but why not take them, if you have been given them for anxiety you need to take them as prescribed for a few weeks to let them help you.
