With regard to the prescription of propranolol, of course the usual
contra-indications for beta-blockers , especially asthma; cautions such as
aggravation of raynaud's, if present, etc apply. Also discussion of
possible side-effects and monitoring for possible excess bradycardia
when adjusting dose.
Betablockers are likely under-used as anti-anxiety agents in general.
