I'm currently using Inderal. It seems to work well for me against occasional situational anxiety
and occasional insomnia. I don't take it everyday, I did, but then my chronic congestion started getting a lot worse so I stopped and don't use it more than two consecutive days now. For situational anxiety or times when your heart seems to be going a lot faster or harder than it should. For me it takes about .5-1 hr to start working at all, best results from there seem to come on pretty rapidly, effects fade significantly after 4-5 hrs. Long term health complications, I find that idea very unlikely if you only use them on an occasional basis (coupla times a week). But if you have generalized anxiety disorder, then I believe you'd be best in looking at other things first to see how they work with you (like xanax or klonopin, both are much better for generalized anxiety disorder).JGalt

> I hear that beta blockers like propanolol decrease the amount of bloodpumped to the heart each revolution. It doesn't sound very healthy or safe for your body or cardiovascular system. The reason I ask, is I'm considering giving it a try for aiding anxiety. I haven't heard of an instance where it hasn't helped in that area. What possible side effects are there? And are there any irreversible long term effects from it? I take Adderall and clonidine currently. How fast does it take to work and is it that noticeably helpful? How good does it work? Would it be more effective than say klonopin or ativan? Thanks in advance!
