I'm dealing with social anxiety disorder and I'm curious about how using propranolol randomly might affect my health. If I take it for a few days and then take a break for a few days, could that be a problem?

"Hello, for social anxiety disorder, propranolol can be used on an as-needed basis before social situations to help with symptoms. It is generally safe to use daily or randomly as needed. The usual dosage for propranolol in this case is 10-40mg taken 30-60 minutes before a stressful event. It is important to consult with your doctor for the proper dosage and usage instructions based on your individual needs."
