View allI've been given Alprax 0.5 to take every night before I sleep, and Inderal 10 for both morning and night. This morning, I accidentally took Alprax 0.5 instead of Inderal 10, but I ended up taking both. Can I still take my usual dose of Alprax 0.5 tonight? I'm a bit worried about how this mix-up might affect me.
