Propranolol is prescribed for people who have essential
tremor. Some times these people who have the
tremor become anxious because of it. Once the tremor is gone, generally by taking the beta blocker, then the anxiety goes too.) This is not the case with everyone as it was not with me, that's for sure. It is very common to prescribe the two together.
