Beta-blockers for Anxiety

Hey, I've recently been prescribed Propranolol for my anxiety.
The GP said to take one tablet either before a situation where anxiety may be a problem, or if needed, one a day.
Here's the thing, they are 10mg tablets, everywhere i have read, people seem to take 40-80mg tablets more than once a day! So should i take more if i feel the need to?
Also, anybody got any experience with this drug? Positives, negatives?
Thanks!

well i think this is something you should take up with your doctor, but i am taking exactly the same as you and i can take 2 to 3 twice a day if neccersary, but dont take anymore than your doctor says untill you talk to them.
I've taken Propranolol in the past for panic attacks and general anxiety at 80mg, worked so well for me but it gave me dizziness which i couldn't handle, had to come off them in the end. If they don't suit you then you could try an anti-depressant such as fluoxetine.
