I take 5mg propranolol 4 days a week? Is it considered very low?

I only take 5mg propranolol when I am working which is 7 days a fortnight. I hate taking it but I need it, it helps a lot with my anxiety at work.

Doing the math its 20mg per week roughly. Am I highly unlikely to experience the side effects that come with beta blockers like weight gain, considering my dose is so small?

    I took 3 x10 daily and didn’t experience any side efforts or weight gain. Try not to worry about those things, especially if they haven’t happened
