Bye the way, I have taken almost every betablocker available and made some exercise and adrenaline experiments.
Everybody reacts different, but I can personally recommendNadolol (instead of Propranolol)
Oxprenolol (Slow Trasicor), unfortunately unavailable in US
Pindolol (only for shortterm use)Beta1-selective Blockers have mostly less sideffects but they are <useless> to combat anxiety response. Metoprolol and Atenolol are truly beta1-selective with some beta2 blocking properties. Strong beta1 selective like bisoprolol
and nebivolol <do not> have any effect of anxiety response.Full articels I read and I have found interesting: (search in http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/)
A dose-ranging study to evaluate the beta 1-adrenoceptor selectivity of bisoprolol.
