Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Although propranolol is indicated for anxiety but it is never safe without supervision of a doctor. The medication have lot of side effects and contraindications such as bronchial asthma, cardiac disease, diabetes among others. I request you to talk to your doctor before attempting use of propranolol. I also like to inform you that SSRI group of medications are mainstay of treatment for anxiety and can be used for same purpose.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
