re no picnic either, but when they work they work all the time. By the way,
beta blockers are generally only used for
social anxiety or when heart palps cause the anxiety, so they're not necessarily right for you either. I don't think you have a psychiatrist who has all the tools in the kit safely stored in his or her head, which is commonly the case -- it's very hard to find a good one, and you don't mention if you've tried non-medication means first.
