You might have been given Tenormin aka atenolol. Beta blockers act by blocking the neurotransmitters responsible for the "fight or flight" response. Most musicians take beta blockers before a concert because it blocks the heebie-jeebies without affecting motor skills. In other words, you feel calm without feeling sedated. I've taken atenolol for 12 years for high blood pressure. I'd give it a shot, it just might help. Good luck.
