Greetings to Tina1.
Propranolol is the generic name for INDERAL, a beta-blocker given to those with heart problems. It's a rather
old drug, rarely used because of the newer ones on the market.
Some time back it was serendipitously discovered that concert musicians, who took the drug prior a performance,
would overcome stage fright (of course, being a musician before the public is a frightening experience).
Psychiatrists sometimes dole it out for anxiety relief. Though this drug does work for many people, it did not
work, nor help, me. I couldn't cope with the side effects and flushed it after a couple of weeks.kazoo
