A member asked:
Are there any medicines that are good for anxiety that is not anti-depressants? i'm not crazy about all side effects that go along with these not to mention the withdrawals when stopping. the withdrawal from the beta-blocker has been the worst?

I assume you tapered the BB over some time. I usually recommend cutting dose in 1/2 for 1-2 weeks and then in 1/2 again for 2 weeks etc. Can be tricky and everyone is different. You body is talking to you. Please listen and take good notes. Then share with your Dr. The two of you should be able to decide what the problem is or what is the next step to find out.
