Have you been prescribed beta blockers for anxiety?

@diverdown1 I would like to come off my anti depressant and Ativan (Loreev) eventually or at least lessen the dosage. Years ago, when I wanted to try beta blocker, there were less choice and the one I tried gave me insomnia. I so hope to succeed with my plan. Wishing you good health and hope your meds keep on helping. Thank you for your support

@zelenkobooks I was on Effexor XR for a long time. I also tried Prozac. Effexor was quite the experience to get off of. I stayed off antidepressants for a long time. I got sober, and that helped, but then I have had some pretty tragic things happen in my life. I know what hopelessness feels like, and I would wake up with that. I also have some physical pain as well as anxiety (which I believe comes from complex trauma and survival skills I learned growing up). I started on the lowest dose of Duloxetine 30 mg. in the morning. It has helped with anxiety, depression and I believe some pain. I only take the propanolol if I need it for anxiety. Gabapentin, I take as well for pain and as a mood stabilizer. I hate having to take so many medications, but grateful to have them. Hang in there.
