Do beta blockers/blood pressure drugs help for partial hanging?

One of the biggest setbacks for me when it comes to partial hanging is that I feel like my head is about to explode.

I don't think that will help much...even if you take a bunch

Oh god yeah that feeling is just unbearable.

So I was thinking of ingesting 200 mg of propranolol, 3 mg of benzodiazepines, and a handle of vodka/scotch in order to black out on the rope and bypass the initial stages of the survival instinct kicking in during the passing out process.

From what I know, you're head's not supposed to feel like that. Are you sure you're applying pressure to the right spot on your neck? I've done many practice runs and only 5 of them were "painless". Sure, there will be an initial bit of pain but it's supposed to go away within a Few seconds

If I do it correctly I get light headed very quickly, vision fades etc. Don't get the exploding head feeling.
