I take propranolol with ADHD medication to help negate some of the anxiety/raised heart rate effects.
I'm not sure if I've noticed a difference with anxiety while on it, other than the mitigation of anxiety from ADHD medication.
I guess I should try taking it alone.
That being said, a large part of my psychological issues are due to anxiety, but I haven't seen any treatments that have been compelling enough for me to try (SSRI's/benzos mainly).
I do exercise, try to be good about sleep, try to force myself to get out with friends or family every other week or so.
Additionally, I've noticed meditation to be a large help for me with anxiety. It took me a while to where I really notice the difference, but I've reached a point where I can say I notice if I've meditated the night before or not.
(I'm not advocating for or against any medication, individual situations vary, and people should consider treatment in the context of their situation with their doctor)

It's really done wonders and has helped me think more clearly in stressful situations — whereas, with stimulants alone, things can become a little more stressful when you're stressed due to increased heart rate and blood pressure.
