A very popular medication (propranolol) diagnosed for blood pressure control also causes your heartbeat to slow. It's commonly prescribed as a first line approach to acute anxiety, if you take them they slow your heart rate and can cease panic symptoms spiralling.
I cannot think of a medication that doesn't in some way affect your psychological profile, because if you're sick then you'll behave differently.
I think it's a bit of a trap to believe that you are your authentic self only by denying yourself medication, I consider myself from 5 years ago a different person let alone pre-medication. Is it that valuable that you struggle and live unhappy for the limited years you have available?
