"i&#039;ve always had gad and some performance anxiety only with school or work related tasks. i&#039;ve never really trembled uncontrollably until i started a new career in the medical field. past few months my anxiety attacks have increased for reasons it wouldn&#039;t have in the past.i&#039;ve always had service industry jobs. needless to say i now need to take 10mg twice daily to perform my job without running away. it does its job well as far as the physical symptoms with a calming effect but mentally you still may have thoughts. do i wish i didn&#039;t have to take a daily med for anxiety? of course but with this med i still feel like myself without the panic, ssri&#039;s made me feel numbed out but help a lot of people. i prefer propanolol at this point."
