Does taking beta blockers really slow down the time to unconscioussness?

[phersper]

I already suffer from anxiety and benzos don't work on me anymore. So I thought that to counteract anxiety and SI beta blockers would be a decent allied. But I've read it's not recommended anymore because it ll slow down the time of going unconscious. Is this assumption scientifically right?

Following because I'm a benzo addict so I'm immune to them at this point. Are you going by SN?

Pls someone with the knowledge share it here ;)

All I know is beta blockers aren't psychoactive so only target physical symptoms of anxiety - ie heart rate. You'd think if anything that'd be a plus but perhaps it impacts absorption

Depends on the method. According to PPeH, SN disrupts the ability of your blood to carry oxygen, in response to lack of oxygen your brain sends signals to your heart to pump faster to get more oxygen. Beta blockers prevent that so consciousness should be lost faster.

I think you would need to take a lot of them for it to work. A few will only lower your heart rate a few beats so I'm assuming you will need a lot for it to work. I'm sorry that's all I can guess
