> Interesting indeed. I recently requested a beta blocker from my pdoc, purely to help lessen the 'visible symptoms' of my SA. Things like shaking, hyperventilation, fast heart beat, blushing & sweating, etc. I asked for propranolol. Instead he gave me pindolol, and added that it has a unique separate beneficial effect on anxiety
> End of ramble...Pindolol is a drug that has at least two pharmacological properties:
1. Norepinephrine beta receptor antagonist
2. Serotonin 1a receptor mixed agonist/antagonistPerhaps it is #2 that accounts for the effects your doctor describes.
