In reply to Anxietys back - beta blockers?, posted by jono_in_adelaide on August 21, 2012, at 20:54:36
Beta Blockers don't treat anxiety. they treat the symptoms of anxiety-the parasympathetic response your body has to fear.
Only one beta blocker ever improved my anxiety: Pindolol. It works because it is 5ht1a agonist, like Buspar, another anxiolytic. 5ht1a agonism essentiallly helps treat anxiety and depression.
Its worth a try!
