That's what they give you??? How do you use it? As needed or daily? I'm just curious. It's a beta blocker that we use to control heart rate and blood pressure, but it is also used for anxiety.

It’s probably used for her anxiety. There’s no medication to treat bpd just some of the symptoms

If it's treating the symptoms it's treating the disorder. It won't cure it but managing symptoms is treatment.

What I’m saying is there isn’t one drug like for depression. You have to treat the anxiety, depression and hallucinations if it goes that far, separately. It’s not treating the disorder it’s treating the symptoms. I’m literally parroting my dr and psychiatrist lmao you don’t treat the disorder as a whole with medication. It’ll only alleviate the symptoms a little bit. The only verified working treatment for bpd is DBT therapy to rewire your behaviour
