benzo alternative besides alcohol? propanolol?

[hello1]

what meds would you suggest that aren't controlled. something for slowing down the heart rate and reducing anxiety. i have mild anxiety at times. don't wanna take something everyday...or sometimes i have to take my 2nd dose of adderall late due to my night class, and/or homeowork. and often it's worn off, but i still can't sleep. thanks.

Propanolol is good for stage fright.

Hydroxine (Atarax, Vistaril, etc) has had an indication for anxiety some places but its sedation might be to much and it isn't all that effective. BuSpar according to medical literature is a good anti-anxiety but most people I've known who took it discontinued because of headaches or other problems.

Many anti-depressants have some anti-anxiety properties over time but they can have a lot of problems for some people as well.

Valerian root, kava-kava and l-threanine are what health food stores would often recommend. Check articles about kava and liver problems before using it.

Exercise and improved diet might help. Psychotherapy is worth considering as well.

I second kava. I am an on/off benzo user and kava works wonders when I'm feeling anxious late at night and don't have a benzo on hand. It feels a little sloppy compared to xanax so I don't use it at work.

Seriously, propranolol is perfect. Don't listen to all of the suggestions for psychoactive and addictive opioids, etc.

No time to back up this statement now. Further explanation will come later, if requested.

I take it on a regular basis.
