Hello,

1. Prior to considering your Anxiety as a psychiatric problem or rush to prescribe herbal medicine or any Alternative system of Medicine, do let me know about any of these possibilities to know more about the evaluation and management of your problem.

i. Is anxiety attacks related with some threat or treatment interventions?
ii. is anxiety manifested due to some illness?
iii. is anxiety a symptom of some withdrawal?

2. Although propranolol is a blood pressure medication but is also used for short-term relief of social anxiety and mainly reduce peripheral symptoms of anxiety-like high pulse rate, sweating, and general tension.

3. As Ashwagandha is best known as an adaptogen i.e. to help the body cope with daily stress and is used in GAD [generalized anxiety disorder] and according to FDA report " There are no drug interactions reported by people who take Inderal and Ashwagandha together yet".

PS. however, ashwagandha does raise blood pressure and thyroid level in some patient(s) thus check regularly with said parameters and also keep in mind [ since different individuals may respond to medication in different ways] also do not stop/start any medicine without first consulting with your attending physician.
