can a family doctor prescribe propanolol? I am going to visit family for 3 weeks...and i am freaking out.. do you think a family doctor will understand my anxiety and prescribe some beta-blockers or this will sound too "stupid" for him? I need a high dose.. i have tried inderal(a low dose.. don't remember what dose though) but didn't seem to have any effect.. can i ask him for a high does.. do you think he will understand? if i talk about suicide(which i have been thinking lately), will it make him more reluctant about prescribing me that kind of med? (with fear i might abuse it)
