If you notice an improperly formatted reply, kindly message the poster and gently remind them it needs to comport with the Naltrexone example below. It is simple and keeps things traversable and useful, thanks 🙏

Naltrexone

I will start with naltrexone, which can help people who have difficulty regulating their drinking have a more natural and sustainable relationship with alcohol should they choose to not cut it out of their lives entirely.

Part of anxiety is the physical effect of it. The tight chest, the elevated heart beat, the panic mode. It reduces that physical aspect so your brain can focus without FEELING like you’re under attack.

I struggle with anxiety but I never have any of these physical symptoms. I've had propanolol and it doesn't do anything for me.

Well, it’s for the physical symptoms only. It’s just a blood pressure med. have you tried venlafaxine? It’s… stronger.
