Bad memories may be a thing of the past thanks to a new pill that may help you forget all about them.

The beta-blocker drugs could help us get over difficult memories such as phobias, etc.

If that's true, this is new territory, according to some experts.

Some experts are not sure these drugs will also alter the personality.  

Others question if losing bad memories is really a good thing, especially in court where people with painful memories may need to relive them for the record.

However, as a person who suffers immensely from claustrophobia, I would love to find a cure from a pill so I can at least ride in an elevator without stressing.
