Beta blockers are not addictive sedatives but are effective tools to control the physical symptoms of adrenaline dumps when indicated for anxiety.

“They don't act like a sedative. It's not like Valium or Xanax or anything like that, but they block that the the effects of that adrenaline dump on your heart.”

Beta blockers can serve as a temporary bridge to help manage physical symptoms of anxiety during high-pressure events, allowing an individual to perform without being overwhelmed.

“Take the opportunity that it presents you with the understanding that it is a tool to get you across a bridge and once you're across that bridge, you don't need that tool any longer.”
