hi! OK, I took beta blockers with some different meds for anxiety and overall "jitteriness". My experience is that low-doses are OK, but when you start taking it daily...your mood goes down a bit. Not necessarily a lot--its more like low-to-medium dose propranolol just kind of dampens it a bit. It also seems to make emotions less intense, which can be good in some situations, but wasn't so great overall on a day-to-day basis. Maybe Provigil plus low-dose Dexedrine/Ritalin? Also, if your doc is up for it, Desoxyn is actually a pretty good option...its kinda tricky to get up to the right dose, but its "cleaner" than the other amphetamines and causes fewer cardiovascular problems. Good luck!
