Sounds like it's time for a new doctor!
You can always try taking the Inderal, and if you notice worsening depression, discontinue it and try to find another beta blocker ... just an idea, as it does not affect ALL people in this way.

He instead prescribes 2 other beta blockeres that do NOT cross the blood brain barrier, of which Atenolol is one.

Whereupon my anxiety peaked, I had a major meltdown in his reception area, and was told "the doctor knows all about medicines and we're sure it must be fine." I guess next step is look for a new doctor. I don't know if I can face it.
