I don't really know, but doesn't a beta-blocker have to cross the blood-brain barrier to have the desired anti-anxiety effect?
The ones being discussed are more cardioselective and might not have the desired effect on the sympathetic nervous system as a whole.
Can someone clear this up for me?
Thanks.
