Get Beta Blockers for Anxiety

Get Professional Help for Anxiety-Related Physical Symptoms

Beta-blockers in general are prescribed for treating anxiety because of the way they can help alleviate some of the physical symptoms of anxiety (e.g., rapid heart rate, shaking, excessive perspiration) as well as performance anxiety. One of the most frequently prescribed beta blockers for anxiety is propranolol (Inderal).

Healify Clinic provides online consultations so people can get assessed by a licensed medical provider regarding their eligibility to receive beta blockers to address their situational and performance anxiety. All services are provided with a license from a licensed medical provider through a secure and convenient telehealth platform.

When Do Beta Blockers Help?

Beta blockers tend to be most effective for treating anxiety when there are obvious physical signs — rather than long-lasting feelings of emotional distress. They are usually used for short-term or situational anxieties to help control the body's stress response.

Beta blockers are thought to help stabilize heart rates and blood pressure during anxiety-inducing situations by limiting the impact that adrenaline has on the body.

Beta blockers do not treat emotional or psychological causes of anxiety. They are usually prescribed for situational examples rather than generalized anxiety disorders, and cannot provide relief from the psychological or emotional aspect of anxiety.

How Beta Blockers Work
Block Adrenergic Receptors
Act competitively on beta-adrenergic receptors in the body to block the effects of norepinephrine and epinephrine (adrenaline).
Slow the Heart Rate
Reduce the physical symptoms associated with anxiety by slowing heart rate and lowering blood pressure.
Physical Symptoms Only
Propranolol crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily than selective options, helping reduce physical stress responses — not emotional ones.
Before Tests or Procedures
Many people become anxious before medical tests, interviews, or assessments — producing extra physical symptoms like heart palpitations and shaking. Beta blockers may limit these physical symptoms, allowing better concentration and physical calm.
Social or Performance Anxiety
Beta blockers may benefit people with performance anxiety — public speaking, performing in front of an audience, or socializing. They can help reduce fast heartbeat and shaking hands, which can impair confidence and performance.
Situational, Short-Term Use
Beta blockers are best suited for situational use rather than long-term generalized anxiety disorders. They are typically taken just before the anxiety-triggering event, with timing and dosage determined by a licensed provider.
Available Medications
Beta Blocker Medications

Several beta blockers are available by prescription. Propranolol is most commonly selected for anxiety-related use as it is non-selective (lipophilic) and crosses the blood-brain barrier more readily than selective options.

Timing and amount of medication determined solely by a licensed healthcare provider

Frequently Asked Questions

What are beta blockers?

Beta-blockers are medications that can be used to reduce the impact of stress hormones like adrenaline on your body. They are typically used to treat conditions of the heart as well as for anxiety-related physical symptoms.

What are beta blockers used for?

Beta-blockers can also be used to help people with physical symptoms of anxiety, performance anxiety, high blood pressure, and certain heart diseases. Beta-blockers are most commonly used for situational management in anxiety care.

How long do beta blockers take to work?

Propranolol is typically taken orally and begins to take effect within 30 to 120 minutes, and usually reaches its peak effect between 1 and 4 hours after ingestion. The timing of the medication is usually planned to coincide with anxiety-producing events.
