Propranolol & Sertraline

Hey guys. Saw the GP today for a medication review and he's upped my propranolol from 10mg 4 times a day to 1x 40mg a day to be taken in the evening. He's also prescribed me sertraline which he wants me to take 1st thing in the morning with my breakfast. Anyone with any experience of taking them both together would be great. Cheers guys

About 15 years ago I had this combo fir a while... I don't remember anything standing out about it so must have been fine for me at that time.

1 x 40mg is the same dose as 4 x 10mg, it's just easier to take one pill than 4 and the sertraline will balance it at the opposite end of the day.

Hope so the doc did say I might feel a bit nauseous though

Some do, some don't. Usually you feel OK if you take it with a meal, ie, in this case breakfast.
