> But in order to try and use CBT to handle the anxiety I've switched to nadolol (the only once-a-day beta-blocker that works to block just peripheral anxiety via beta-1 and beta-2 receptors and doesn't get into the brain much at all, at least not as much as Inderal does, so I know that any progress I make in handling things is due to changes I'm making in my brain using CBT and not the nadolol doing it for me in my brain, then if and when I feel confident enough with my CBT skills then I'll slowly wean off nadolol and not have to worry about any brain chemistry withdrawal stuff)

> I'm hoping ultimately that my CBT skills alone will do the trick, otherwise I guess Xanax-XR with Inderal-LA is my back-up planI must confess I've not heard of nadolol before, but why do you prefer the Xanax-XR/Inderal-LA combo to nadolol?
