I will think about it. What's the difference between a beta-blocker and a benzodiazepine?
Thanks for the response [emoji4] .

Beta-blockers reduce physical symptoms of anxiety, and sometimes the mental symptoms. Benzodiazepines are medications that are sedating, unlike beta-blockers. Benzodiazepines also have muscle relaxant properties, which is when people are sedated with midazolam, they may have issues holding their heads up. Oh and benzodiazepines are addictive while propranolol is not.
