I know benzos can help with antipsychotic induced akathisia but I also heard that propanolol is a beta blocker with dual therapeutic affects for high blood pressure and akathisia.
May ask for this to try
Don’t know much else about it has anyone tried this?

I take it. I haven’t noticed an improvement on sza symptoms, but I have high BP and tremors, and it can help both.

It didn’t do anything for my anxiety.
I could only stay on it a couple weeks because it kept making my blood pressure drop too low.
I only mention that as a heads up to consider if you don’t have high blood pressure either.

I refilled the propane tank for my grill last week.
@shutterbug that’s nice. What about charcoal though you ever tried that? Less chance of explosion and much better taste
Natural gas explosions don’t kill me. I’m part cockroach.
I also have a charcoal grill and I have a wood pellet smoker.
Cockroaches are fascinating lol
Nuclear bomb no
Cockroach spray yes
Sounds like a nice setup, I like charcoal grilling

I noticed no effect from taking propranolol. I no longer take it.

I did, but the dose didn’t start or go up high enough to have an effect so I never really took it properly.
I tried it without successfull…
I was once put on teva propranolol (not sure if it’s the same thing) for anxiety. All it did for me is hide my symptoms to other people. I never got rid of the anxiety itself. I’m not currently on it, because I thought it was pointless.

I take it for anxiety and tachycardia
Works for tachycardia, but anxiety wise , a little effect
Clonazepam is what I take when getting anxiety or panic attack coming

I Taken it two years ago but no effects on me. Buspirone and cymbalta was better on me.
This happened to me also, but I have POTS so I assumed that is why. Do you have that also?
I use it. Works to an extent yeah.

I’m taking it mostly for my clozapine induced tachycardia
I’m slowly getting off both of those though
Benztropine helped my akithisia. I was prescribed propranolol for anxiety but it didn’t help that.
It really only helped with my tremors. Made exercising suck though.
I use it, but it doesn’t improve my anxiety.
