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.

  4. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Robert Duvall and a handful of others were a younger actors coach and always said no one worked as hard as those guys did. Robert Duvall and rest would read the full script 228 over and over, then after the last read they would go into how to perform their character. The young man had made it to meet Al who are greats and pull them to the side. And explain what his coach said. They all looked back and said out of every role you’ve seen me in. I have read it 228 by myself. 🫡 🫢 🫢 🫢
  5. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Sorry for comment below, but I couldn’t delete. Know I see the
  6. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: Yeah Robert Duvall passing is a hard one. RIP
  7. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Damn. Just heard Robert Duvall passed away Sunday. That’s a tough one. He’s one of my favorite actors. From Lonesome Dove to the Godfather and many others. We will miss you Mr Duvall. You entertained us for 7 decades. RIP

  9. ClintEastwood @ ClintEastwood: Just wondering if anyone well trusted has a supply of research thienos or benz in powders for good average prices? Or could give a shout out from me to him? Or the best lowest per each? I’ve seen some cool and some i just know are worth it. Good price rv presses too but it is much more bang for your buck. I have one good vendor. But am looking for variety’s well. Send me a message or reply if you think any. Thanks - CLINT E. Any Heavy stuff too which all seem about the ssmmmmmm
  10. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I always thought I should’ve been born in a much earlier time but I will say, i do enjoy my Xbox and occasional TV series tho 😂
  11. Realbenzeyes @ Realbenzeyes: I just wish the opioid epidemic never happened. Fk the turn of the century (which would be cool no doubt)! Many of my friends and family would’ve ended up in asylums like so many others. I just wish I could get back all those I’ve lost since the start
  12. L @ Layne_Cobain: 1914 I meant
  13. L @ Layne_Cobain: I often wish I lived during the turn of the century or at least before the Harrison narcotics act or whatever I think it was 1924 the fun ended but anyway yeh being able to get laudanum, ❄️ and amphetamine at the local friendly pharmacy
  14. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Chew on the leaves with a bit of slaked lime and enjoy the mild boost you get from the raw base.
  15. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I’m sure you know the folks in the mountainous regions along South Americas pacific side buy cócà leaves at the local farmers market just to help acclimate to the higher elevation when they have to head up into the hills.
  16. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I would certainly have bought it, swilled it, enjoyed it…. Why not? A little boost in your juice isn’t going to hurt anyone.
  17. R @ Royboy99: Exports were reported to have around 7.2mg per FL OZ, it’s success is what actually led to Coca Cola
  18. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: Having cramps and husband thinks you’re acting hysterical (ie. PMS) the doc would either perform a certain massage to relieve the strains of motherhood and family life of that time or send you down to the local apothecary for a bottle of laudanum… A tincture of alcohol and 10% òpìųm. Fun days huh?
  19. R @ Royboy99: @malestrom: yeah thats it, my bad Mariani, yeah i considered that and also its ROA, which was oral so the bioavailability was lower than insufflation, higher degree of purity tho and longer duration … there was a significant marked increase of patents filed by Edison during the time it was released in the US. Presidents were known to use it as well, and the Queen. The pope awarded the wine the Vatican gold medal award
  20. Maelstrom @ Maelstrom: I think it was called vin Mariani. But yeah, it was all the rave back in the turn to the 20th century. Original formula Coca Cola did it for a while too. I think it was pretty weak though. Something like 200 mg per liter of wine. Enough to maybe give you a little push but unless you could pound some serious alcohol, it’d be hard to really feel the effects before the ethyl knocked you down on the ground. It was an interesting time period. Laudanum was a “hysterical” woman’s best friend.
