>the "nootropic" statement I've read in "smart drugs ii" the book clearly says it reduced anxiety that reduces IQ, thus netting an increase in IQ if your anxiety is markedly decreasing your IQ and the beta blocker is less of a decrease in your IQ than the anxiety you would otherwise have that decreases your IQ.
In other words, your anxiety has to be so bad you're retarded from it.
