Like what kind of response?
- noelsusman 8y agoTypically the fight or flight response. Racing heart, constricted blood vessels, shaking hands, shaky voice. Beta blockers will prevent adrenaline from taking effect. It's commonly prescribed off label for people who suffer from acute anxiety attacks with a known stimulus, like public speaking.
