In reply to Racing thoughts, fear of bullying, etc. what meds?, posted by Wolf Dreamer on November 28, 2006, at 15:17:59
> I saw on 60 Minutes about a drug called propranolol, which blocks adrenlian and other chemicals that cause racing thoughts, and whatnot apparently. It also is used to help angina, which I may have since I get no exercise, and my heart does feel sore at times.

> Its a beta-blocker, one of many.

> Are there any beta blockers that do not cause memory problems, and do not have a list of scary and potentially fatal side effects?

> I'm terrorfied about being caught out in a situation where I'm helpless, unable to stop someone from speaking to me, pressuring me for something, staring me down, touching me, or standing close to me for the purpose of intimidation.

> What medications could I take, that will work? Has anyone else had anxiety like mine, worrying about things racing through their head every day, constantly, unable to stop it? What works and hasn't worked for you.Opiates. This is my default answer to anything anxiety and depression related. If I ever find anything more effective than an opiate I will start using that as my answer.
Benzodiazepines. This is my second answer. They are very effective with anxiety and the side-effects tend to be minimal and not bothersome.
Kratom is quite amazing, do more research on it.
