Not sure: People do take garlic tabs but no study has ever proven any benefits. You may take beta blocker and see how it works for you. You may stop it, if it worsens your depression or weight gain.

See details: First of all, beta blockers are not a good choice as the initial med to treat hypertension. An ace inhibitor or arb agent would be a better choice.
