I've noticed an atypical anti-anxiety benefit from metropolol (which I take for the usual bp/heart effects). It's not an anxiolytic; it won't do much to stop stop a panic attack that has already started. What it does is reduce the slope of increasing anxiety, which means more time before a minor/moderate anxiety can grow into a full panic. Very occasionally this has let me avoid a panic attack.
