Thanks for replying,
I've tried Inderal, it didn't help much, maybe too low dose I don't know. It feels hopeless since meds like diazepam should make you overcome fear.>

I have Panic disorder and get treatment for that, Buspar 20mg/day and it helps my anxiety/PD pretty well but the talking problem remains unsolved. This problem arised concurrently with the PD. This is a big problem for me since i'm studying, and to do a presentation is impossible since I completely panic. I have diazepam prescribed for me, but even diazepam falls short when it comes to presentation.
