What is the reason you want to take 4 instead of 3? I also take propranolol, but I take an 80mg slow release pill every morning and the effect seems to last.

I would always ask your GP before you go increasing your meds. As GH said, why do you want to increase? If you don't think they're helping enough, go back to your doctor and discuss it with them first. Better to be safe than sorry....
