I have never used a beta blocker, so I have no experience to relate to you. However, I noticed that you are taking reboxetine (Edronax). I found it extremely anxiogenic and put me in a suicidal state. How did reboxetine help you when you first started taking it? How long have you been on it?Have you tried Paxil? *
Although most of the SRIs have been used successfully to treat GAD, Paxil and Effexor seem to be the most effective.
* Paxil should be avoided during pregnancy. Birth defects involving the heart valves (valvulopathy) occur with this drug. In addition, lung function of the newborn (pulmonary fibrosis and persistent pulmonary hypertension) have been associated with Paxil use during pregnancy.
