propranolol & pro-banthine

[Corey]

I have been taking pro-banthine for a few months now for a sweat problem and started taking propranolol last week for anxiety. Since ive started taking propranolol i have started sweating more. Is it possible that the propranolol could be counteracting the effects of the pro-banthine and therefore making me sweat more?

Pro-Banthine has adverse interactions with propranolol in such a way that Pro-Banthine cause drowsiness and other central nervous system-depressant effects that may be additive with those induced by beta blockers.

In addition, these agents may increase heart rate and theoretically may counteract the bradycardic effects of beta blockers.

As to propranolol being contributory to excessive sweating, I don't think so. In fact, propranolol can even treat stress-induced sweating. Try to find other factors which cause you to sweat more.
