Beta blockers – benzo "alternative" that actually worked!

Hey guys, just wanted to share a "success story" of mine. :)

Recently, I asked my doctor to try beta blockers for anxiety. My symptoms has always been mostly physical; nausea, feeling like fainting, sweats, etc (without any "disaster thoughts" I know many others are having) so this seemed appropriate.

She gave me propranolol 10 mg (Inderal), and wow, this is the only thing I've tried that works as well as Ativan.. but without the addictive properties, so it should be both cheaper and easier to get if you don't have insurance (or like me, a really strict doctor).

Beta blockers work by blocking the physical effects of anxiety, so I can't promise it'll work for everyone. But as a low-risk, less controlled alternative, I should at least put it out there for all to know.

Speaking of which... Since this is actually easy to find, there'll be a lot more vendors – I actually wanted to get a bit more for myself, but couldn't figure out where to look. If anyone can recommend an "everyday" pharmacy with a good rep, that'd be nice as well. ;) I live in Europe if that makes any difference.

Best of luck to all of you!

 
When I developed Graves Disease, I developed what was called a "fine tremor" of my hands, but was not actually all that fine.  at the time I was taking  beta blockers before my Graves' Disease was treated to control heart rate.  A couple of months after my thyroid was ablated with radioactive iodine, I no longer needed the beta blockers to control my heart rate, but i had some extras on hand.  My hands had begun, with the onset of Graves disease, to shake quite noticeably when I played piano in public to the extent that playing was difficult. One day before a performance it occurred to me to try a beta blocker before a piano accompaniment gig. It greatly reduced the shaking of my hands. i can see how it would reduce a person's anxiety.

Propranolol is usually prescribed in the UK if you see your GP and present ypurself with anxiety/panic attacks but don't want something sedating. It certainly lowers your heart rate and tremors, but you may still experience mental anxiety. Very effective med for anxiety though.

  1. PlanetExpress @ PlanetExpress: @brofessormd this isn't even the first time we've seen this whole setup go through this mess. There seems to be some sort of pattern here; every time stuff gets rocky with shipments, missed deliveries, or a pile of refund requests, it always cycles back around. Honestly, watching this routine play out since 2021 has been wild. Just something to keep in mind when making plans.
  2. P @ piratepenguin: So they are pink hello kittys. Ya I'll test but probably won't take them at all
  3. DutchRCshop @ DutchRCshop: @piratepenguin Dont take without testing! Probably amfetamine or XTC. Small chance its something else but still, how tf you get random pills in the mail lol
  4. moai @ moai: @piratepenguin probably xtc or similar but don’t take it without testing it. I would definitely test them, could really be anything.
  5. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: had “confirmed” this. Just this morning someone claimed “Just so you guys know, there is someone else that's taking over and is going to take care of all that was left behind. But I would be patient please“. I would take this all with a grain of salt though, anything is possible, and I don’t want to be spreading rumors
  6. st1ckyf1ng4z @ st1ckyf1ng4z: @CalFresh @brofessormd @intrnt Yes time will tell, I do believe the timing was a little sus as well, people in his signal group were mentioning heart failure, and that people closer to him had to confirmed this
  7. P @ piratepenguin: Just got some random cat head shaped pink pills at the post. I didn't order. Pink cat head with two plugs on the other side. Anyone know what they are?
  8. B @ brofessormd: Slightly sus that Rhodi pastebin was taken down at the exact same time of his friends announcement of his death 🤔
  9. I @ intrnt: @CalFresh time will tell, it's always easy for a Vendor to exit and come by with a new handle.
  10. CalFresh @ CalFresh: @st1ckyf1ng4z what happened to Rhodium?
