I am suffering from medium levels of general anxiety and fighting with severe anxiety (panic?) in situations that stress me out, e.g. conflict or interviews. If I know I have those 2 hours beforehand and I can tranquilize myself with the betablocker propranolol which makes the relevant adrenaline receptors in your body immune to all the adrenaline your gland secrete and turns me into a cool and smooth operator.

Choline gives me a severe stiff neck and makes me unable to sleep. I have experimented with many supplements and it was one of the most consistent and unfortunate effects I ever got from one.

Beta blockers can be dangerous in the sense they stop your natural adrenaline response when you or somebody else in your vicinity is doing something dangerous, and so you don’t acknowledge danger properly.

    I have taken insane one time dosages up to 200mg and haven't noticed that effect. In my experience they never fully turn off the effects of adrenaline spikes at any dosage still bearable.

    They aren't magic zombie pills, at worst they turn you mostly fearless and consequently slightly unhinged (and make you feel like shit due to the low blood pressure).
