Propanalol

I have been taking 80mg Propanalol ER capsules once a day for several years now for mild hypertension and anxiety. Lately they have not been working so well and my blood pressure readings are slightly increased, so my GP is keen for me to increase the dosage. Because I am quite sensitive to some effects or changes in meds, she feels it would be better to do this gradually with small increases to allow me to get used to the changes.However, Propanalol ER do not make a Low dose ER capsule a little higher than the 80mg but a whopping jump to 120mg!
