my 2 cents...
Xanax-XR with Inderal-LA worked better for me than Klonopin or antidepressants or anything else
But in order to try and use CBT to handle the anxiety I've switched to nadolol (the only once-a-day beta-blocker that works to block just peripheral anxiety via beta-1 and beta-2 receptors and doesn't get into the brain much at all, at least not as much as Inderal does, so I know that any progress I make in handling things is due to changes I'm making in my brain using CBT and not the nadolol doing it for me in my brain, then if and when I feel confident enough with my CBT skills then I'll slowly wean off nadolol and not have to worry about any brain chemistry withdrawal stuff)
I'm hoping ultimately that my CBT skills alone will do the trick, otherwise I guess Xanax-XR with Inderal-LA is my back-up plan
