Hi gang. 

I know a lot of us have tried a lot of things. I tried propranolol in the past but was convinced it wouldn’t work because it’s simply a betablocker. 

Waiting for a letter to arrive from the consultant psychiatrist to my GP to allow them to prescribe me anti-psychotics (god bless the NHS but the paper trail is ridiculous) I found myself going through yet another break up! 

Out of desperation I have been trying propranolol the past two days and despite the break up happening for good this morning I am not feeling the extreme, raw emotions I would expect to feel. I feel sad, but normal sad. Then I found this [Nat Geo](https://www.nationalgeographic.com/science/phenomena/2009/02/16/beta-blocker-drug-erases-the-emotion-of-fearful-memories/) article that made me think maybe, just maybe this would be a great thing for people like us. 

I mean each to their own and I don’t think it helped me this much previously when things were just as rough, but with hindsight perhaps that was just the placebo effect in reverse?
