Adrenaline uptake can be prevented with beta blockers[0], such as propanolol[1] which is often prescribed for blood pressure, arrhythmia, and performance anxiety. The down sides are when you stop taking it, you may be hypersensitive to stress since other methods of dealing with the adrenaline have been neglected. Exercise and meditation are better ways to reduce the effects of stress in the long term.

- DigitalJack 10y agoI take propranolol for both BP and stress. I also meditate. I can attest to propranolol's effectiveness for acute anxiety. Meditation is about equally effective for me, but not always practical.
