Based on my experience with it, I'd advise avoiding propranolol if you are being treated for depression. It really can push back into an episode. In fact, I'd avoid it if you have hypertension. It just slows everything down too much, esp. heart rate and thinking ability. Atenolol, another beta blocker, also can mask anxiety symptions, and it feels more refined. But its a prodepressant too.
