propranolol easily penetrates the blood-brain barrier and can reach the brain. Because of that you are sedated maybe even depressed. Nadolol is much less likely to reach the brain thus you are less sedated and less depressed. But it is possible that the sedating central beta-receptor blocking properties of propranolol is a part of a pseudo- anxiolitic action.
