beta blockers for anxiety
I hate pills, but I've recently heard that beta blockers are now being used to treat PTSD as well as anxiety. Apparently they can help block recall of traumatic events.
I naturally have low blood pressure and can drop into the 50s with my HR. However, I also have PSVT and frequent PACs, which beta blockers are frequently prescribed for also. Aside from my low rates and BP, I seem like an ideal candidate. Does anyone else take a BB with those issues?

HIya, I am on Propranalol 40mg twice a day, which has helped my GAD emmensly. BB will not block out any thoughts you have but they will help the anxiety symptoms you experience. Although i would be careful if you have low blood pressure. At the start of taking BB my blood pressure averaged 120/80 and 5 nearly 6 months on after taking this drug it averages 90/60.... this is just me but be careful.
hi i am on them 2, for anxitey and hand tremors they have helped a bit, i would be carful if ur blood pressure is low.
