Propranolol is not a benzo. aka Inderal. Its a beta blocker to slow down one's heart rate slightly.
My medical doctor sister taught me it was a trick all doctors used: they would take an Inderal before a presentation or public interaction. It helps stop tremors. Fear. It does not help with social anxiety per se although some are promoting it for this purpose because benzo usage is now frowned upon in some states.
Do research. But, I have taken valium for tremors since i was 15, and when my vendor cannot get thru, this time i survived on one Inderal a day.
(My body goes into fight or flight mode. That would now be deemed panic attacks I realize.)
You must research. I am a doctor of law. Not of medicine. But, if you are not clinically depressed or continuously anxious, its best to use a med that one takes only when needed. Not necessarily daily.
Please talk to others. This is just my experience. (I remain on valium because i have tremors and seizures from Lupus and MS combo.)
Good luck.
