Hi shy!

According to the PDR for Anxiety, Migraine, and Tremor 40mgs 2-3 times a day, but as I said for ME I found 10mgs first off caused me to feel cold (common) and a little odd, and was sufficent for my stimulant-induced rapid heartrate.

Propranolol is ok to take as needed, and I would advise you trial it before an event, like a job interview. Try half a dose and see how it goes,

To give you an indication doses of 160-320mgs daily are used for HBP
I would trial it before
