Had a really bad #anxiety day today! Was starting to settle taking #fluoxetine and #propranolol however the propranolol made my resting heart rate go down to 50 and this made me feel faint. Not sure if it was a panic attack or genuinely my heart was too slow. Feeling terrified now. 😔

I also have a hunch that #CBD + #propranolol might be very useful for many types of serious #anxiety and #PTSD in particular.

Propranolol is already seeing strong early support for use in PTSD, both soon after trauma and much later; I suspect the huge improvement in my #socialanxiety over the last 10 years was in part due to propranolol and by the same mechanism proposed for its beneficial effect in PTSD. I suspect that CBD and propranolol might synergize.

More and more evidence for #propranolol being a possible help for #ptsd. I was on propranolol and I have long suspected the major permanent improvement in my #socialanxiety came from the exact mechanism they're suggesting, namely, disassociating the physical anxiety response from the trigger.

How it works: it's an adrenalin blocker. It drastically reduces fight-or-flight. I find it a lot more effective than benzos for general #anxiety and it's also not addictive.
