Iwould have to say that for me propranolol slow release does an excellent job on physical symptoms
but nothing for fear ie the feeling.
Xanax is also the only thing that works for me for that, I imagine that if you take it often enough the sedation wears off hopefully leaving the anxiolytic effect, but then you will be dependant on the xanax ?!
Yuo could look at the following:
Tryptozen
l-theanine ( suntheanine)
pikamilon
relora
niacinamide ( not niacin !!)and maybe give them a go
meditation/ relaxation does something for me, ie cures stomach problems, tones down the startle response but it is slow acting.
Have you tried the other benzos? they do seem to work differently for different people, valium makes me anxious for example wierdly enough, but xanax is excellent.
Good LuckGlenn
