Whats The Dosage For Propranolol Intake?

I am taking 10mg of propranolol, which I was prescribed yesterday. My question is, I was prescribed to take it once a day, but I'm afraid that by the end of the day, when I really need it the most, if I don't feel the affect, can I take another 10mg Pro or is that too risky?
