I need to know if there are any supplements or herbs out there that can lower adreneline
I found a significant antidepressant with a beta blocker - atenolol.

I don't have an answer to your question, but I was just wondering if you have been checked for hypertyroidism and whether you have had your cortisol and blood sugar levels tested. Hyperthyroidism and hypoglycemia both cause anxiety. I believe that hypoglycemia can also cause a "fight or flight" reaction in people (i.e. adreneline rush). I may be wrong, but I think perhaps that high cortisol levels can do the same thing (someone will correct me if I am wrong).

My thioriod levels are OK, but I should have a cortisol test done at some point.

Sorry to be a pain, but do you know if the dr. just did a simple TSH test or whether the dr. tested TSH as well as T4 and T3 RIA, T3 uptake; Reverse T3, FTI and tyroid antibodies. I have read that the TSH is not always the most reliable test.
Also, blood sugar problems can cause adreneline rushes. Your dr. could order a Glucose Tolerance Test (GTT) or you could even purchase a glucometer and start monitoring your blood sugar yourself and discuss your findings with your doctor.
Anyways, just some things to think about.

These are the only two websites that I kept in my "favorites" (deleted a number of others when I did a clean up). Hope they are useful.
