My pdoc prescribed me Inderal for my anxiety, as a PRN.
Life saver! Non-sedating, just lowers the heart beat a bit, which for me is okay because my heart beats very rapidly. The brain feels awake and the intrusive thoughts are still there but my reaction to it is very healthy now, I can see that they’re just thoughts.
This is how I feel about my atenolol! It was initially prescribed by my cardiologist for a birth defect in my heart. It was so effective for my anxiety that after my surgery to correct the defect, I begged to stay on it. Total lifesaver.
