Beta-Blockers: Beta-blockers are not traditional anti-anxiety medications, but they can help manage physical symptoms of anxiety, such as rapid heartbeat and trembling. They are sometimes used for situational anxiety, like before public speaking. Examples include propranolol (Inderal) and atenolol (Tenormin).
The choice of medication depends on various factors, including the type and severity of anxiety, individual medical history, and potential interactions with other medications. Additionally, therapy and lifestyle changes may also be recommended as part of an overall treatment plan for anxiety.
Always follow your healthcare professional's advice regarding medication and discuss any concerns or side effects you may experience. It's essential to work closely with a qualified healthcare provider to find the most effective and safe treatment for your specific needs.
