You may have to try more Inderal than this, and you'll know it if your heart is racing still even with the Klonopin.
I was taking 1.5mg Klonopin. You may need more, who knows.
Take a 2 hour nap right before talk, but after taking it.
And base this after a 8-9 hr. sleep the night before. You'll do fine.
Can't relate to sedation of Klonopin, but do know it can go away after a few weeks of daily use if you're planning on taking it that way. Myself, I just get it for special ocassions, but should start regularly when I see my doc next week
