The first thing that is important to remember about propranolol is that it is used in medication and must be used with a perscription and under the care of a doctor. This chemical is used to treat angina, heart disorders, as well as a treatment for hypertensive disorders, heart disorders, and anti-migraines. Propranolol is not a benzodiazepine.
Propranolol belongs to a group of drugs known as beta blockers. "Beta blockers are not FDA approved for the treatment of anxiety or nervous tension but are generally used to do so."
Propranolol is sometimes used for treating anger and aggressive behavior, certain types of pain, high blood pressure, narcotic withdrawal, panic attacks, phobias, tremors, to help prevent second heart attack, and the effects of antipsychotic drugs.
Propranolol is not considered to be habit forming and it supposedly can be used from months to years without serious side-effects.
"Propranolol is approved by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for the treatment of hypertension (high blood pressure), angina, certain types of cardiac arrhythmias, certain types of cardiac output diseases, a sympathetic nervous system disorder known as pheochromocytoma, hyperthyroid conditions, migraine, heart attack, and tremors of a variety of origins."
