Question

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."

Question

I'm really worried because my friend gave me a tablet of duralast 30 mg without telling me what it was for, saying it would help with my headache. I took it, but now I'm feeling really horny and anxious about any other side effects I might experience. Can you please help me understand what to expect? I'm kind of scared.
