In reply to Propranolol for anxiety?, posted by valene on November 18, 2005, at 8:26:05
I am sorry and dont understand exactly your problem. You are changing atenolol to propranolol because of "specific" social anxiety, but actually take atenolol for heart arrythmia? -Do you go to a cardiologist and a psychiatrist. If you have an arrythmia I would better ask the cardiologist, before you change something. Stopping or changing betablockers in some cases of arrythmia could lead to death.
Ask your doc or better cardiologist.> My pdoc wants to change my beta blocker from atenolol to propranolol for social anxiety. She says that atenolol is not as effective.
