hexamethonium has been researched along with Anxiety in 2 studies
Hexamethonium: A nicotinic cholinergic antagonist often referred to as the prototypical ganglionic blocker. It is poorly absorbed from the gastrointestinal tract and does not cross the blood-brain barrier. It has been used for a variety of therapeutic purposes including hypertension but, like the other ganglionic blockers, it has been replaced by more specific drugs for most purposes, although it is widely used a research tool.
Anxiety: Feelings or emotions of dread, apprehension, and impending disaster but not disabling as with ANXIETY DISORDERS.
