Thanks so much for your reply!

It seems to me that it is indeed feeding a depressive mood. I think she needs to be taking some VitD too. It's very dark and rainy for months here. I think it is affecting her health esp. at the moment while she's so anxious.

I looked up the side-effects of the propranolol and it clearly stated that visual hallucinations were possible even at a very low dose as she's been prescribed. ugh How scary is that!

She is a student and is having memory problems.

I was reminded of the l-theanine posts today when I was looking for info. here. Thanks. She's due back at her doctor on 25th. I make her take lists these days.

Will look into the Atenolol.

Thanks so much.

p.s. I think we're a family with excess cortisol!
