Taking propranolol

Hi everyone. A few months ago I was prescribed propranolol for anxiety, I was taking it for a little bit, it helped so I had my prescription filled again to get more. I ended up going away for a week and forgetting the meds, but I felt okay without them so I stopped taking them. I know you shouldn’t do this, but I thought if I can survive without meds I should.

Fast forward to now, I still have the medication and I have been feeling really intense anxiety. I’m waking up in a panic attack every morning. I’m going to be booking an appointment with a therapist for the mental side but I want to start taking the propranolol again - do I need to have an appointment with a doctor? It’s such a difficult thing to do here at the moment.

Any advice appreciated TYIA
