> 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.
>cool, thanks for the info. that's what im looking for - relief from the physical symptoms. i have a near constant feeling of tightness in the chest along with 'buzzing' energy in solar plexus (not comfortable energy) that I'm looking to obtain relief for. sounds like beta blockers will do the trick.
