It can take as long as four weeks to notice a substantial effect from busperidone. Doctors sometimes prescribe BETA ANTAGONIST (BLOCKER) MEDICATIONS such as propranolol (Inderal) for men who have situational anxiety (“stage fright,” or performance anxiety, such as for public speaking). These medications, typically prescribed for high blood pressure and ARRHYTHMIAS, block actions of epinephrine and norepinephrine to reduce the outward effects of anxiety (such as rapid heart rate and sweating) but do not alter brain activity or the sensation of feeling anxious.
