Ok so my doctor has suggested I take Propanol (which is a beta blocker)for my anxiety.but rather than take it every day which just makes me very very tired and lethargic he said to take it when I thought I might need it...ok so scenario...

Today when I got up I didnt think I was going to need to take the medication, so I left home and came to work. During the day(morning) I had a couple of terrible anxiety attacks - so the question is, if I carried the medication around with me is it to late to take it when I think an attack is occuring???

Your opinions are most valid as usual

Hi Ford,

It certain ly is not going to hurt to take one when you are feeling anxious.
What a beta blocker does is to block the flow of adrenaline into the body. When you have started to feel anxious already, it will block any more adrenaline from coming into the body, and hopefully you will have time to calm down.
