In reply to beta blockers for anxiety?, posted by tendency on April 6, 2005, at 10:43:58
Yes. I just started on Toprol (aka Lopressor) last week. For the first time in my life, my anxiety related chest discomfort has been relieved. With the relief in anxiety, I am also able to better concentrate.
There have been no cons for me. Depression and tiredness are listed as side effects for beta blockers, but more recent studies have shown that depression does not increase with the use of beta blockers. I have not had any side effects at all. I just feel more comfortable.
> anyone have experience using beta blockers for anxiety? pros? cons?
