I am curious if anyone has been prescribed propranolol for anxiety. I have suffered with panic disorder for 23 years now and I am 35 years of age. I take Zoloft every day and Trazadone to aid with sleeping at bedtime, but my doctor prescribed this medication (a beta-blocker) instead of clonzepam or lorazepam. I'm just curious everyone's experience with this med.

Thanks!

I just did a quick google search and they do use it for anxiety in New Zealand
I think this site is world wide but I would think that if it's used here for anxiety then their is no reason why it can't be used in other countries

I've never used any of the medications you mentioned
So I hope someone else replies and can help you out with there experiences

Zoloft is an SSRI just like the Prozac I take. Recently my GP prescribed Gabapentin (Neurontin) as a remedy for diabetic seizures and peripheral neuropathy. After about a week I was wondering why I was feeling so much better. A web search indicated that these a two that work in tandem in fighting anxiety/depression. Initially took a little too much and had mood swings but I am at a comfortable level now. Something to consider and ask your Dr about.
