you can try:
Atenolol: effective, longer half-life, less sideeffects because water soluble
Pindolol: very effective, short-acting, causing some headache or chest pain
Nadolol: very effective, watersoluble version of propranolol, very long acting, less side effects, but tiredness...
Propranolol: effective, calming effect, but tiredness, not my favorite
Bopindolol: effective, different long-acting version of Pindolol, improves HDL/LDL ratio (good side effect)
Oxprenolol: very effective to slow heartbeat, but headache (short and long acting version)
Metoprolol: not so effective, minor headache, there is a long acting version, cause beta upregulationThere are many many worthless betablockers for panic, performance anxiety:
nebivolol, bisoprolol, ...
They really to not have antitachycardic action, probably they lower bloodpressure by the kidneys.
(I have tested it on the treadmill)Beta1-selective are not so effective because there are also many beta2 receptors on the heart
