I don't know if your supposed to but I have many times in the past. I don't drink now but I used to drink regularly. Just take it slow. I am on it for a migraine disorder 80mg

thank you! My anxiety gets worse when I over think drinking, I’ve only had two drinks but just worry about it. I’m on 20mg for anxiety and high blood pressure.

Hi Del 🙂 i drink and take it (many years now),with no side effects...... just don't use alcohol to wash your meds down,that can be very dangerous,take your meds,wait a couple of hours,and you should be good.

Del

thank you!! I appreciate it!

I have been told that propranolol increases the drunk effects of alcohol. (Dizzy, unable to walk, slurred speech, ect.)

I drink with it conservatively or just drop it if I'm gonna have a few or more. Then I resume the next day

I take Propranolol 50mg. And like others said, be mindful and conservative. Don’t take at same time. Honestly if I have an evening where I know I will want to drink I won’t take it that day. But it is not my primary anxiety medication so I can miss a day without much issue.
