No I have not tried the other non-cardioselective agents (nadolol either).
That's an interesting read-- I haven't studied that, thanks Scott.I think ultimately though, at this point I need less medication of some sorts, and not more -- I just can't though right now, so many catch 22s.
Continuous use of any major amounts of propranolol though is something I think my doctor of today would not like, it can cause depression and is a liability for low blood pressure with everything I have on board. I do use it on some occasions PRN for pseudoparkinsonism and hand tics.
