not a good idea...

used as-needed, it can sometimes be helpful. Its good for stage fright--the performer is still nervous, but their nervousness doesn't impact their movements as much (for example...musicians). It can help with neuroleptic-induced akathisia, and used w/ benzos it can produce good results but...overall, propranolol isn't good for anxiety, especially long-term. Over long-term use you run the risk of depression, hair loss, and some other side effects, and it doesn't actually fix the anxiety so..at best, its an add-on, for as-needed use.
