LONDON (Reuters) - A widely available blood pressure pill could one day help people erase bad memories, perhaps treating some anxiety disorders and phobias, according to a Dutch study published on Sunday
The generic beta-blocker propranolol significantly weakened people's fearful memories of spiders among a group of healthy volunteers who took it, said Merel Kindt, a psychologist at the University of Amsterdam, who led the study.
"We could show that the fear response went away, which suggests the memory was weakened," Kindt said in a telephone interview.
The findings published in the journal Nature Neuroscience are important because the drug may offer another way to help people suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder and other problems related to bad memories.

dude that's not the side-effect, that's the effect.
Need some stuff designed or printed? I can help with that.
think really hard about what you want to forget while you take the pill
memories at the forefront are erased
"What did the burglar look like, sir?"
"I don't remember!"
It's what makes us morally superior to those who can let issues go and not hold on to them for far to long.
