I have two meds for anxiety, Xanax and Inderal. The Xanax is 0.5 mg tablets and the Inderal is 10 mg tablets. I was prescribed 3 tablets of each a day and was taking them all but I was slurring my speech so the doctor said take less. So now taking about 1 mg Xanax and 10 mg Inderal a day instead of 1.5 mg and 30 mg. Anyway, my question is, can I occasionally take half a pill of each, 0.25 mg Xanax and 5 mg Inderal at the same time? This would really only be once a week before talking about traumatic memories in therapy and once in a while on really bad days. Or should they be spaced apart? I'll ask my doctor when I see her but that's not for 3 more weeks so I was wondering what to do in the mean time.

You can always take less xanax. As a matter of fact less is better only take what you need.

I usually only take what I need. Sometimes it seems I need more than I'd like to be taking.

I have found that since going on Inderal, it is a "healthier" med for me than Xanax. Xanax makes me stoned and sleepy. Inderal stops my hyperventilation and heart palpitations without the loopiness of Xanax. I now only take Xanax if my anxiety is at a 10 or I'm going to the dentist. I take both drugs only as needed.

Interactions between those two drugs are considered moderate. It could drop significantly drop your blood pressure

You don't have to wait until you see her to ask. Why don't you call her office and leave a message with her nurse? You should get a response back within a couple days

Thank you everyone! I'm aware Inderal is the healthier med. Saw endocrinologist yesterday and told her about my dizziness and she's afraid Inderal is dropping my blood pressure. I see my pdoc next week now. My pdoc doesn't have a nurse, it's just her and a secretary who seems to just schedule appointments and not have any medical training.
