Low Dose Propranolol for reducing nervous system activation/ triggers

 

Used in low doses of 20 or 40 mg rather than over 100 mg for high blood pressure treatment, it can calm the autonomic nervous system in about 20 min. You will need a prescription from your physician, but doctors are becoming more aware of its other uses and prescribing it for PTSD and anxiety.

 

Here is a link I found quickly... there may be better ones, but it covers the basics:

Here is a documentary on memory that includes a piece on phobias using Propranolol toward the end:

 

NOVA, The Memory Hackers. Season 43, Episode 6.

(Be sure to watch it to the end with the spider phobia experiments using Propranolol)
