Propranolol
"I've had major depression, severe generalized anxiety, and a hefty helping of social anxiety too. Working in the medical field I've tried near everything. Benzos had breakthrough panic attacks near daily and they are so addictive I didn't want to go down that path, so my doc switched me to propranolol.

I took my first capsule that night and slept past 3am for the first time in 5 years. I honestly think it saved my life.

I've been on propranolol 60mg extended release (combined with my antidepressants) for two years. The only side effect that I've ever noticed is that sometimes I feel a bit groggy in the morning until I get in the shower. I can live with that.

I recommend it over benzodiazepines to anyone with panic or anxiety issues."
