I hate to be a drug pusher, but . . . . My first shrink's kid attended Juilliard and he would help out some of his sons friends by perscribing .5 mg of Ativan because of performance anxiety. I love Ativan because it is fast acting and can really help out in situations like you a describing. I take it sometimes when I have big presentations to make. Explain to your doc exactly everything you have described on this board and ask about the possibility of some Ativan. I would suggest you do a trial run to see how you respond to it because in some people Ativan, even at such a low dose, can hit them like a freight train and cause intense drowsiness. For me, Ativan is fast acting and doesn't leave me feeling stupid like Valium.Good luck and let us know how things go.
