I take a beta-blocker called Propranolol it’s a generic for Inderal. It was prescribed by my P-doc because a side effect of this medication is a calming effect. Many people swear this medication cured their anxiety or panic disorder. I can’t say that but for myself it helps at times. I take it as needed.

I‘m a bit nervous because I‘m changing from a benzo that I have been taking for over 7 years and changing to another not knowing the side effects of doing so. I could feel my heart beating and knew it was in tachycardia (over 100 beats a minute) I could have checked it but every time I do that and its high each time I check it after that it keeps going up as I go into a panic about it.

I took 20mg of Propranolol and within 20 minutes my heart rate slowed and I feel overall less anxious. I feel pretty good right now.

If you search a search engine for Propranolol, Inderal, Anxiety, and panic you will be surprised how popular this medication is for Anxiety/ Panic and the large amount of people who endorse it.
