   best beta blocker for anxiety (Anxiety board)

25th November 2004
I have Lopressor and have taken a small dose when panic sets in, 12.5. It is a Godsend as it always stops the palps and lowers my bp fast. BUT, it does nothing for the rest of my anxiety symptoms, tremor, tight throat, dry mouth, troulbe swallowing, etc. Is there another type that would cover more symptoms?? One advantage of the Lopressor is I have zero side effects from it.

find out the dose range of lopressor, perhaps you could take more, it usually lowers your blood pressure and you obviously dont want it to go too low

these beta blocker meds help with the physical but not mental problems from panic attacks and anxiety, they are all out of patent so arent advertised and many docs dont think of them :o

Which one is better, Ideral or Lopressor? So many talk about Inderal but my doc gave me Lopressor. It handles heart symptoms but does nothing for the shakes, dry mouth, or muscle tightness.
