In reply to CAM!!! What's Propranolol, posted by Tina1 on May 24, 2000, at 22:16:30
hi tina,
propranolol has helped me greatly!! i take it
about an hour and a half before i have to perform
onstage or go to an audition. in turn, i don't get
as nervous when performing--my heart doesn't race,
my voice doesn't shake, i don't sweat as much, etc.
my understanding is that it doesn't actually treat
the anxiety, but eliminates the disabling symptoms
of anxiety (which usually increase one's initial
anxiety). my doctor also said that i should not
take it regularly--only as needed. for a potential
side effect of it is depression.hope this helps!
