I just about ate Inderal after the Sept. 11th disaster---I was so anxious about everything around me. I also take it occasionally before I perform for stage fright or for other stressful situations that trigger my "fight or flight" response. It seems to have a pretty quick onset of relief. My only side effects are dry mouth and sedation if I take too much (it can help for insomnia on an occasional basis but you build up tolerance). Hope this helps--Chocoholic
I hear that beta blockers like propanolol decrease the amount of bloodpumped to the heart each revolution. It doesn't sound very healthy or safe for your body or cardiovascular system. The reason I ask, is I'm considering giving it a try for aiding anxiety. I haven't heard of an instance where it hasn't helped in that area. What possible side effects are there? And are there any irreversible long term effects from it? I take Adderall and clonidine currently. How fast does it take to work and is it that noticeably helpful? How good does it work? Would it be more effective than say klonopin or ativan? Thanks in advance!
