1. Betacap TR (propanolol) should be taken daily (in anxiety) to maintain steady blood plasma levels and reduce attacks of anxiety.
2. as this drug masks symptoms of hyperthyroidism, and hypoglycemia make sure you check your blood values with Laboratory and your attending physician.
3. even when you want to discontinue, it should be gradual and not abrupt as it can lead to angina, arrhythmia.
4. get your EKG done every 2nd month to know the heart rate, as this drug causes sinus bradycardia..
5. if you experience cold extremities, insomnia, constipation, breathing problem,weakness,mood alterations:these are adverse drug reaction of the drug

Hello friend,
This question again shows that you are an anxious type of personality. Use it only when you find it needed. Any such chemical drug is harmful in the long run and so withdrawing totally is the ideal step. As you said, your yoga and meditation are helping you to reduce its use.
Another step you can do very effectively is to undergo Homoeopathic treatment. There your genetic and constitutional tendency to become anxious and particular life situations to which you become anxious will be studied and an individualistic and curative remedy will be given to you so that you can totally be free from chemical drugs. You will enjoy real health for the remaining period of your life. You can continue meditation and yoga along with Homoeopathy.
Therefore approach an expert Homoeopath at the earliest.
Or you can contact me with your case in detail, I can help you.
With best wishes,
Dr. C. J. Varghese
